Abstract: Italy is building new double-track railway lines on its busiest routes: Turin-Milan-Naples, Milan-Venice and Milan-Genoa. These lines will encourage a full integration of the Italian rail network with those of other European countries. The new lines will allow existing lines to be dedicated to metropolitan and regional traffic and freight transportation. High capacity is considered as important as high speed in this project. Respect for the cultural and archaeological heritage, and an environmental impact assessment of the routes of the lines was required. Treno Alta Velocita S.p.A. is the appointed project manager. The progress on each section of line is outlined.
