Modernisation Contract Signed for Part of 5th Route Section

The management of the National Rail Transport Agency and subcontractors signed on Friday a SIT 8.7bn (EUR 36.3m) deal to modernise the Pragersko-Ormoz section of the railway. The section in NE Slovenia is part of the 5th pan-European transport corridor which makes it a priority investment, Agency director Rajko Satler said.

The signing in Maribor was also attended by Jelka Sinkovec Funduk, the head of the Railways Directorate at the Transport Ministry, who said this was the first and an important investment for modernising the country's rail infrastructure.
The contractors selected for the construction will begin the works on 15 December and are expected to complete the modernisation in 720 days. Minor disturbances to passenger and cargo transports are expected during the works.
The deal is also partly financed by the European Union, which contributed SIT 3.5bn (EUR 14.6m), while the remainder came from the state budget.
