As part of the support, 435.2 km of railway infrastructure will be modernized, including the replacement of rails and wagons, upgrading of bridges and tunnels, and improvement of drainage systems.

These measures aim to align the line with European safety and compatibility standards, boosting economic activity in the region and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

It is expected that these service improvements will make rail transport more appealing to passengers, promoting a shift from automotive and air transport to a more environmentally friendly rail alternative.
