On 27 December COMSA handed over to Adif the project for the complete renovation of the Monforte de Lemos – Lugo railway section, executed by the company. With a length of 71 km, this intervention improves reliability, comfort and travel times in the corridor of Galicia.
The works have included the complete replacement of sleepers with polyvalent concrete models; the installation of UIC-60 type rail and aluminothermic welding to improve the continuity of the track; the renewal of the ballast, guaranteeing greater stability and drainage of the infrastructure; the adaptation and reinforcement of the railway platform to support greater loads and increase durability; interventions on drainage elements and embankments to prevent possible geotechnical incidents; and the improvement of safety conditions through the adaptation of level crossings, as well as the incorporation of advanced signalling systems.
The stations of Lugo, Monforte de Lemos, Rubial, Oural, Sarria, Laxosa, as well as 46 turnouts and 2 crossings have also been renovated.
The renewal of this railway section is part of the improvement plan for the Galician corridor and reaffirms our commitment to more efficient and sustainable mobility in the region.
