Update: March 2018

This project, part of the Atlantic branch of Priority Project 3 (High speed railway line Paris-Madrid) covered the section between Arrazua/Ubarrundia and Mondragón in the Basque Country in Spain. It supported the construction of the following high speed railway lines in the provinces of Álava and Guipúzcoa:

• Arrazua/Ubarrundia-Legutiano • Legutiano-Eskoriatza • Eskoriatza-Aramaio • Aramaio-Mondragón

Due to the mountainous landscape of this region, the works included the construction of a series of viaducts and tunnels. The total length of the section was of 24.1 km - of which 4.5 km were viaducts and 9.8 km are tunnels. This project had to help improving the competitiveness of rail transport between Madrid and the cities located along the corridor (Valladolid, Burgos, Vitoria, Bilbao and San Sebastián). It also aimed to substantially reduce travel time along this line. The action is closed.
