Project description
The project addresses the works for the upgrade of the 42 km section between Ivanic-Grad to Kutina to convert it into a new double track railway section on the M103 Dugo Selo – Novska railway line. It is divided into two sections i.e. section B (station Ivanić -Grad – station Popovača) and section C (station Popovača – station Kutina).
The project covers mainly the upgrade of single-track railway line and the construction of a second track on sections B and C of the railway line Dugo Selo – Novska (from km cca 19+475,00 until km cca 61+455,00), the reconstruction of two existing stations (Popovača and Kutina) and six stops in Širinec, Ludina, Voloder, Repušnica, Deanovec and Moslavačka Gračenica as well as the construction of a new stop in Okešinec. Osim toga, postojeći kolodvor u Novoselcu prenamijenit će se u ranžirni kolodvor. In addition, the existing station in Novoselec will be converted into a shunting yard. The electrical railway subsystem of 25 kV AC power will be upgraded with all elements that fits a double track railway line.
Project goal
The implementation of the project and achievement of its objectives will result in increased capacity of the railway line and shortening of travel times for passengers and freight.
The overall objectives of the project are increasing the maximum speed from the current maximum speed of 80km/h to 160 km/h, reducing travel time, ensuring the required interoperability and technical parameters (22.5 t axle load, D4 line load class and UIC GC spatial clearance, possibility of running trains with a length of 740 m), ensuring accessibility of railway transport for persons with reduced mobility, and enhancing safety of passengers.
