THE SECOND TRACK OF THE DIVAČA–KOPER RAILWAY LINE

Railway infrastructure THE SECOND TRACK OF THE DIVAČA–KOPER RAILWAY LINE

The modern 27.1 km Second track of the Divača–Koper railway line will be a new, durable, and reliable railway connection between the Koper cargo port and the Slovenian and wider European railway network.

In terms of infrastructure, the Second track is a difficult project. Terrain configuration, environmental restrictions, and overcoming just over 400 metres in altitude difference between Divača and Koper are reasons why the Second track line will run through 7 tunnels and over 3 viaducts.

After construction, the capacity of the line will be 120 trains per day or 25.7 million tonnes per year, while the capacity of both lines (the existing and the Second track) will be 212 trains per day or 36.9 million tonnes per year. Travel times will also be reduced, and it will take a maximum of 35 minutes to get to Koper from Divača

THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE SEVEN TUNNELS IS 20.5 KM, I.E. 75% OF THE LINE.
