Eurovia, a subsidiary of Vinci specialising in transport infrastructure and urban development, has been awarded the eight works packages of the second phase of the modernisation of the tramway in Košice. Worth almost €80 million, this new contract follows on from the first phase of works, completed by Eurovia between April and October 2015.
The second phase covers the rehabilitation of the 33 km network, which consists of 15 urban and suburban lines, and the acquisition of new rolling stock. The modernisation of the tracks will start at the end of 2016 and take two years to complete.
The rails will be entirely replaced and the utility networks affected will be re-routed. Electrical equipment, signalling, lighting and all tramway and bus platforms will be modernised. New information systems and a CCTV monitoring system will be installed.
