JESENICE RAILWAY JUNCTION
Jesenice railway station was opened in 1870 as part of the Ljubljana–Tarvisio railway line. With the completion of the Bohinj railway line towards Trieste and the Karavanke Railway Tunnel towards Villach in 1906, it became a key junction of Alpine railway routes. During the Second World War the station was damaged and was renovated in the 1950s. After more than 70 years, however, it now requires comprehensive modernisation.
Within the project, a comprehensive upgrade of approximately 18 km of railway tracks, 58 switches, and 17 km of overhead contact line is planned. The project also includes the upgrading and adaptation of signalling, telecommunications, and electrical installations, the construction of a traction power substation, and the installation of 1.8 km of noise barriers. At the station itself, three covered platforms will be constructed, and the station building, which is protected as a cultural heritage monument, will be renovated. Passenger facilities such as the waiting area and sanitary facilities will also be upgraded. The existing pedestrian underpass and staircases will be reconstructed, and new elevators will be installed to provide access to the platforms. The construction of two new parking areas is also planned within the station area.
AFTER THE UPGRADE, TRAVEL TIMES WILL BE REDUCED. TRAINS THAT CURRENTLY PASS THROUGH THE STATION AREA AT 35 KM/H WILL BE ABLE TO TRAVEL AT 100 KM/H.
