The project envisages the doubling of the Termoli-Lesina section, which completes the doubling programme of the Adriatic route in the Pescara-Bari section.

The project envisages the construction of a track-doubling with a total length of about 33 kilometres, divided into two functional Lots. The first Lot is the Ripalta-Lesina track at a length of about 8 kilometres alongside the existing track, and the Termoli-Ripalta track with a length of about 25 kilometres, part of which is a variant and part of which flanks the existing track.

Roberto Pagone was appointed Extraordinary Governmental Commissioner for completion of the works.
