The high-speed line Milan-Bologna is part of the high-speed network in Italy and a branch of the TEN axis No. 1 . It opened on December 13, 2008.

construction

The planning for the construction of the high-speed line Milan-Bologna began in December 1993. The construction work was divided into five planning phases: Milan-Piacenza West, Piacenza West-Modena East, Modena East-Bologna, connection Parma and the route relocation in Modena.

In 1997 and 1998 the route was determined in the individual construction sections. The construction contract for four construction phases was awarded to the bidding consortium CEPAV UNO in 2000 . Construction also began in 2000 and was completed in September 2008. The branches Fidenza, Parma and Modena West were only opened at the end of 2009.

At the end of 2003, the order to equip the line with control and safety technology was awarded to Alstom with a value of 65 million euros .

The project plans envisage total costs of 6.916 billion euros, of which 4.229 billion euros had been invested by mid-2006.

In connection with the renovation of the Bologna Centrale train station , the high-speed line was extended to Bologna. There it flows into an underground station under the previous station.

Route characteristics

The high-speed route leads largely (130 km) along the A1 motorway. Of the total of 182 kilometers, 3.5 kilometers run in tunnels and 35 kilometers on bridges or viaducts. The high-speed line branches off the existing Milan-Bologna line behind the Lambro river and passes Piacenza , Parma , Reggio nell'Emilia and Modena to Lavino just before Bologna. The only stopover is in Reggio nell'Emilia. The route is designed for speeds of up to 300 km / h. In the area of ​​Modena, however, the speed is limited to 240 km / h due to tighter curve radii.

On the high-speed line, 64 trains will initially run daily without stopping. With the opening of additional lines afterwards, the number of trains on the new tracks will increase by 34%. The travel time in high-speed traffic will drop from 105 minutes today to 65 minutes in the future. By 2011, the number of passengers in express traffic is expected to increase from an average of 12,600 today to 17,100 people per day on this route. In connection with the old Milan – Bologna line , the total line capacity will be increased from the current 244 trains to 500 trains per day. Mainly regional and freight trains will roll over the old route. Additional regional connections are possible as capacities become available.

On June 8, 2013, a new underground station was opened in Bologna, reserved for high-speed trains. This station will be linked directly to the high-speed line to Milan and the high-speed line to Florence. This will decouple the high-speed traffic in this area from the rest of the traffic and reduce the travel time between the two cities to 65 minutes.

On the morning of February 6, 2020, a Trenitalia ETR 400 derailed at Livraga at 292 km / h. The two train drivers were killed and 31 passengers were injured. A wrongly set point is considered a possible cause.
