HŽ Infrastruktura, the public administrator of the railway network in Croatia, has awarded COMSA a contract to build a new suburban railway line for mixed traffic between the towns of Gradec and Sveti Ivan Zabno, 40 kilometres from the capital, Zagreb. This is the company’s first project in the country.
The contract includes construction of the infrastructure and superstructure of the line, 12.2 kilometres in length, and the building of various crossings (level crossings, overpasses and underpasses), viaducts and three stops.

The works also include the construction of a car park and the safety installations, interlocking and telecommunications.
