This project, an important part of Priority Project 23 (railway axis Gdañsk-Warszawa-Brno/Bratislava-Wien), aims to prepare a preliminary feasibility study for the modernisation and expansion of the Katowice railway junction. Completion of the action will be a first step towards improving the rail transport efficiency on this part of the Priority Project 23 axis.

The action encompasses 2 activities:

• Preliminary Feasibility Study on the modernisation and expansion of the Katowice Railway Junction
• Geological survey and analysis within the major TEN-T railway transport corridors and in the vicinity of the city of Katowice

Research and analysis will be carried out regarding the condition of the railway infrastructure including geological survey and analysis in the major TEN-T railway transport corridors and in the vicinity of the city of Katowice and the relevant social, economic and transport relations affecting the demand for transport services in the Upper Silesian agglomeration. Katowice junction, covering a highly urbanised area, is the most important railway junction in Poland.

By eventually developing and transforming the railway network layout, the growing transport needs of the region - especially for goods transport - will be addressed.

This project has been completed.
