📋 Tender Overview
Tomorrow, April 25, 2025, a new covered side platform will be put into use at the Smartno ob Paki railway station. Passengers will be able to board and alight on the new platforms, which are approximately 200 meters northwest of the station building, in the direction of Velenje, from 7 a.m. onwards.The works at the Smartno ob Paki railway station, which took place from September 2022 to June 2023, in addition to the construction of new platforms 150 and 80 meters long, also included the construction of a new underpass with lifts, which allows passengers to safely access the platforms. Access routes for cyclists and pedestrians have been arranged to access both new platforms, and the road past the platforms has also been adapted. 18 new parking spaces for vehicles have been arranged in the platform area, including one parking space for the disabled, and 14 parking spaces for bicycles. The station building has also been renovated, which has a new facade and new rooms for the needs of the operator and external rental. 6 new bicycle parking spaces have been arranged next to the station building. After the upgrade, the Smartno ob Paki railway station is more accessible to passengers and, above all, safer, as the new underpass allows safe passage and access to both platforms. As part of the track equipment arrangement, track 1 with its associated switches was abolished, while tracks 2 and 3 were renovated in the platform area, and signaling and telecommunications equipment were arranged. Since mid-April, the station has also been equipped with a video surveillance system, which will ensure greater safety for passengers and infrastructure, and a central passenger information system, which will enable better information about train arrivals and departures. These measures are part of a broader project to modernize the railway infrastructure, which also includes the establishment of advanced information systems at several locations across Slovenia. The Directorate for Infrastructure contributed a good three million euros to the implementation of the entire project to upgrade the Smartno ob Paki railway station, and the Municipality of Smartno ob Paki fully financed the preparation of investment documentation, the purchase of land and the construction of access routes to the platforms, including lighting. The Municipality also partially financed the preparation of project documentation, the reconstruction of the road along the track, and the arrangement of the parking lot area.
