📋 Tender Overview
In April, the renovation of the existing underpass in the area of the Jesenice railway junction began. The construction of the new Kurilniska underpass in the area of the central installation is already underway.As part of the renovation of the existing underpass, it is planned to extend it under all the tracks to the south side of the Jesenice railway junction, which will enable a direct connection between the northern and southern parts of the railway junction. After the renovation, the total length of the underpass under all station tracks will be just under 97 meters. The renovation includes the construction of 4 elevators, the construction of new stairs for access to the platforms and a new parking lot for passengers next to track no. 12. New lighting, information equipment and tactile guiding paths for the blind and visually impaired will be arranged in the underpass.
At the same time, the construction of the new 62-meter-long Kurilnisko underpass for pedestrians and cyclists is underway, which will connect the northern and southern parts of the Plavz district.
After the completion of the construction of the new and renovation of the existing underpass, the safety of passengers in the area of the Jesenice railway station will be significantly increased, as they will be separated from train traffic and will have easier and safer access to the platforms.
As part of the project, work is also being carried out on the track infrastructure, where the 1st construction phase is underway, which will include the construction of new tracks no. 7-12, including manipulative tracks. The completion of the 1st construction phase is scheduled for September 2026, followed by the start of the 2nd construction phase with a continuous 48-day complete closure of the Lesca Bled-Jesenice-d line. m.
At the moment, mainly the construction of the lower structure is underway, track no. 402 in the area of the Hofer store, relocation and protection of signal security and telecommunication devices, construction of the foundations of the rolling stock and installation of poles of the rolling stock, construction of the foundations of the anti-noise fence, and reconstruction of the building of the central staging area and lobby in the station building. All works are expected to be completed in 2027.
The work that is currently underway mainly affects passenger access. Passengers will be notified of any changes in a timely manner through project announcements, which will be published on public notices and on websites.
In order to ensure safety, movement on the construction site and crossing the tracks is strictly prohibited, so passengers should only use marked routes and accesses. During the construction period, there will be increased traffic around the construction site from time to time, so we ask all citizens for their understanding and patience.
The project is co-financed with European funds. More information about the Jesenice railway hub upgrade project is available on the Krajsamo razdalje web portal.
