Lamezia Terme-Catanzaro Lido-Dorsale Jonica

Lamezia Terme-Catanzaro Lido-Dorsale Jonica

The project envisages the infrastructural upgrading by means of speeding up the Lamezia Terme-Settingiano section and the electrification of the Lamezia Terme-Catanzaro Lido and Sibari-Crotone-Catanzaro Lido extents. These planned interventions will increase the performance of the network and facilitate connections to/from the Lamezia airport.

Roberto Pagone was appointed Extraordinary Governmental Commissioner for completion of the works.

Advantages

  • Completion of the interventions that will make it possible to enhance the connections between the Ionian and Tyrrhenian lines and improve accessibility with Lamezia Terme.
  • Line electrification that makes it possible to extend the long-distance north-south connections as far as Catanzaro Lido without the need to change traction in the Sibari station. 
  • The creation of the infrastructural conditions for a reinterpretation of the service model for local public transport through electrification along the entire Sibari-Catanzaro Lido-Lamezia Terme Centrale link.
  • Savings in journey times along the Sibari-Catanzaro Lido and Lamezia-Catanzaro Lido routes.
