EIB evaluates the Italy’s Rete Ferroviaria Italiana project for railway infrastructure. The total value of the project is EUR 2 billion, of which, EIB’s proposed finance is EUR 1 billion. The projects are included in the Programme Contract for Investments between the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and RFI aiming to provide the necessary investments to ensure high safety and performance standards on the Italian railway network. Schemes financed by the bank will target level crossing protection, tunnel safety, station accessibility, noise and hydrogeological risk mitigation.
The project is expected to contribute to preserving and, in some cases, increasing the quality of rail services provided in Italy and to contribute to the sustainable transport in line with the EU objectives.
