Upgrade & specification

Leg specification and
and upgrade proposal background

Radgona/ Radkersburg Leg proposal re-enables railway connection of the cities of Gornja Radgona and Bad Radkerburg, that was broken at the end of the World War II. It would also re-enable the fourth railway border crossing between Slovenia and Austria.

This leg proposal ranges from Ljutomer to Gornja Radgona—with new track to Lipovci, where it would connect with Pragersko–Hodoš railway line and could as such serve as the second track of this line—and in Austria from Bad Radkersburg to Spielfeld-Straß, where it connects to the Austrian Southern Railway.

Crossing two countries this extended core TEN_T (Trans-European Transport Network) proposal is connected with two core TEN_T Corridors:

The Extended Core Network of EU grants is up to 85 percent is defined on the basis of priority sections of the comprehensive network, which the European Commission intends to complete by 2040. Together with the core network, it represents the backbone for a sustainable multi-modal transport network and should promote the development of the entire network.

European Union (EU) provides funding for railway infrastructure and railway terminals also through EU Cohesion Policy. The co-financing rate of EU grants is up to 85 percent. Funding is channelled through the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) and the CF (Cohesion Fund), simultaneously.
