Objective
The main objective of the Project Works on primary passenger lines (E30 and E65) within the Silesian Province, stage I: E65 railway line, Zabrzeg - Zebrzydowice (state border) section is to improve the quality of the railway connection along the line E65 on the Zabrzeg – Zebrzydowice (state border)section, to meet TEN-T core requirements, and hence to improve its attractiveness and competitiveness compared to other means of transport.
It will be done by the upgrading of approximately 36.9 km railway lines on the Zabrzeg - Zebrzydowice (PL/CZ state border) section, covering construction/reconstruction of engineering structures, eliminations of level crossings, construction/modernization of passenger stops and modernisation of two railway stations (Chybie and Zebrzydowice).
The Project will be implemented in the Build formula, on the basis of the design documentation prepared under the project CEF 2015-PL-TM-0081-S.
The Project is the important part of the Global Project covering the Bedzin - Katowice Szopienice Pld. – Katowice – Czechowice Dziedzice – Zebrzydowice (state border) section.
The Project is located in the Baltic-Adriatic core network corridor.
The main objective of the Project will be achieved by meeting the following specific objectives on the Zabrzeg – Zebrzydowice (state border) section:
• shortening of travel time;
• adaptation of stations for servicing freight trains that are 750 m long;
• enhancing safety of the railway traffic.
The specific objectives of the Global Project will be achieved by the following operational objectives:
• increasing the speed of freight trains in general up to V= 120 km/h and passenger trains up to V=160 km/h, and increasing the maximum permissible axle load to 221 kN;
• removing bottlenecks ;
• modernisation of the control command and signalling system;
• upgrading the catenary and traction power supply.
