Spain is launching a study to investigate the possibility of implementing a mixed-gauge connection along the Zaragoza-Huesca railway. This is another step for Spain towards the reopening of the Zaragoza-Canfranc-Pau line, which connects Spain and France across the Pyrenees, as the Spanish Ministry of Transport pointed out.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The study, which will cost 160,2 million euros, will interest the 21-kilometre railway connecting Zaragoza and Huesca, which is currently equipped with the Iberian gauge. On the double-track sections, one of the two lines will be converted into mixed gauge. For the single-track sections, a second line will be laid next to the existing one, always in mixed gauge.<\/p>\n
