WORKS DESCRIPTION

The length of the target section is around 8.5 Km distinguishing between the following subsections

The execution of the first subsection consists of the development of a layout as a variant of the current line (double track), allowing the future development of road works included in the current General Urban Development Plan of the town of Villajoyosa, such as the Boulevard Villajoyosa access to the old N-332 trunk road and the “Vía Parque” bypass
The second subsection runs from the end of subsection 1 and Hospital Vila Station. The initiatives included in this subsection consist of widening the existing platform to be able to dual the track and the execution of the superstructure of the second track (ballast, sleepers and rails). The dualling is carried out alongside the existing track, except for the overpass over the Torres river where a variant layout has been planned with a bridge parallel to the existing one
The third subsection runs between the Hospital Vila Station and the overpass over the Murtal ravine. In this subsection, with the exception of the bridge over the Murtal ravine, the platform is already in place and is wide enough to accommodate the double track, so that works may be carried out on the superstructure of the second track alongside the existing track (ballast, sleepers and rails).
