The works included inter alia the:  i) complete renovation of the existing single track in Iberian gauge, by laying down polyvalent sleepers; ii) installation of a Centralised Traffic Control (CTC) system; iii) construction of small variants and rail side track; iv) curve corrections and embankment stabilisation, v) reduction of the number of level crossings and v) power supply to equipment and facilities.

The Action contributed to increase the capacity of the line Bobadilla-Algeciras, improved its passenger and freight traffic conditions, in particular in the rail access to the port of Algeciras. Furthermore, it contributed to the implementation of Priority Project 16 by enhancing the competitiveness of the rail mode in the connections between the cities along the corridor Algeciras/Ronda/Bobadilla/Granada/Madrid, minimizing the environmental impact of the corridor and strengthening the territorial cohesion in Southwest Europe.
