HS/HC Railway Lyon-Turin, lot 5A, France

The high-speed and high-capacity line Turin-Lyon represents one of the main railway infrastructures in Europe. The project, part of a cross-border corridor connecting Italy and France, aims to improve sustainable mobility through the Alps by reducing road traffic and pollutant emissions.

The Lot 5A is located at the center of the planned 57.5-kilometre base tunnel, between the train stations of Susa in Italy and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne in France, and it consists of preparatory works for the future safety site at Modane. The excavations will create a logistics hub 500 metres below ground ahead of the drilling of 18 kilometres of tunnel under the Ambin Massif in the direction of Italy.

The completion of the base tunnel will bring enormous benefits in terms of freight and passenger transport efficiency between Italy and France, improving the economic competitiveness of the region and promoting more sustainable development. The reduction in travel times and logistical costs will make this infrastructure a cornerstone for the future of European transportation.
