The port is interested in taking over an area of 290,000 square metres in Zaragoza and turning into a multimodal platform for the initiative.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span id=\"more-61310\"><\/span>The idea for a rolling highway between Valencia and Zaragoza via Teruel stems from the fact that this line is currently being adapted for the rail transport of semi-trailers. Since August 2024, tunnels and overpasses along this route are being modernised to accommodate this type of transport.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/infrastructure\/2024\/08\/06\/spain-starts-two-projects-to-boost-rail-freight-connectivity-to-zaragoza\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Zaragoza-Canfranc-works-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/infrastructure\/2024\/08\/06\/spain-starts-two-projects-to-boost-rail-freight-connectivity-to-zaragoza\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">Spain starts two projects to boost rail freight connectivity to Zaragoza<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>Creating a monitoring committee<\/h2>\n<p>To this end, the Valencia Port Authority and the government of Aragon, the region of Zaragoza, signed an agreement to boost intermodality between the two locations.

The group will be responsible for keeping an eye on the actions implemented by the two parties and evaluate them.<\/p>\n<h2>Rolling highway fever<\/h2>\n<p>Developing rolling highways seems to be the new trend for the Spanish rail freight industry. There are currently talks to implement almost a dozen of them, connecting various cities all across the country. However, only one is operational at the moment, running between Valencia and Madrid. The next in line should be the one between Spain\u2019s largest port in Algeciras and Zaragoza, but the inauguration of this project has been postponed indefinitely.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/intermodal\/2025\/02\/24\/another-spanish-port-gets-ready-for-rolling-highway-services\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Nueva-doble-rampa-roro-APH-1-scaled-1080x675-1-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/intermodal\/2025\/02\/24\/another-spanish-port-gets-ready-for-rolling-highway-services\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">Another Spanish port gets ready for rolling highway services<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<h2>RailFreight Summit 2025<\/h2>\n<p>The synergies between ports and railways will be the main highlight of the RailFreight Summit, taking place in Gda\u0144sk, Poland, on 8 and 9 April 2025.
