April 4, 2023 - Zagreb traffic will follow special regulations in April due to a new project. The estimated project value is EUR 29.2 million, and the funds are fully provided by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

As Poslovni writes, part of the track at Zapadni kolodvor will be closed to traffic from April 6 to April 19 due to railway renovation, HŽ infrastructure announced on Monday.

During the reconstruction period on April 6 and 7, from April 11 to 14, and from April 17 to 19, trains will not run on the routes Zagreb GK - Zaprešić and vice versa, Zagreb GK - Savski Marof and vice versa, and Harmica - Zagreb GK and vice versa.

At the Kustošija stop, the platform on the left (southern) track will be used for the entry and exit of passengers.

From April 3 to 5, traffic will flow as usual, and the works will have less impact on traffic compared to the works carried out from March 20 to April 2, and minor delays are expected.

Special traffic regulations are coordinated with the dynamics of the works and are planned periodically until the completion of the works, which is expected in the middle of 2024.

The project "Renovation of the railway on the section Zagreb Zapadni kolodvor (included) - Zagreb Main Station (excluded)" is carried out on a short but one of the busiest sections in Croatia, through which about 150 trains pass in a day.

The renovation of the said section starts from the Kustošija stop, which was renovated last year, to the entrance to Zagreb Main Station.

The works include the complete renovation of the upper and lower track structure, the rehabilitation of bridges and the construction of culverts, the construction of landscaped areas for passenger access, work on signal-safety and telecommunication devices, the modernization of the "Vodovodna" and "Republic of Austria" railway-road crossings, as well as the renovation and replacement of part contact network system.

The estimated project value is EUR 29.2 million, and the funds are fully provided by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Upon completion of the work on the project, trains will be able to travel at a speed of up to 120 km/h on that section, the level of safety and interoperability will be raised, and the throughput capacity of the railway will increase and the possibility of transporting a larger number of passengers in daily migration traffic.
