The port of Cadiz, in southern Spain, is investing in a new container terminal where rail is expected to play a prominent role. The facility will in fact be connected to the country\u2019s main rail network, thanks to a contract for over 7 million euros awarded to Ferrovial Construcci\u00f3n.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe execution of this first phase includes a 1.78 km main branch and a 615-meter shunting line\u201d, the Cadiz Port Authority specified. Moreover, the project will be complemented by a 111-metre section, which will link the port to a switch at the Cadiz station.<\/p>\n

In a second phase, the two lines will be extended to 2.06 kilometres and 890 metres respectively, enabling the handling of 750-metre trains. The project should be completed by 2026, as that is the deadline for the commissioning of phase two.<\/p>\n
