The project envisages the realisation of two operations in the Augusta area, the first concerning a railway beltway connecting the new railway park in the Port of Augusta to the national railway network, whilst the second is a variant of the route along the Messina-Syracuse line that bypasses the urban centre of Augusta. There are also plans to build a new station outside the town centre.

Filippo Palazzo was appointed Extraordinary Governmental Commissioner for completion of the works.
