The project for a rail link to the Venice Airport aims to produce an intermodal connection between the Marco Polo Airport and the national rail network, in line with European directives aimed at increasing rail transport.
The project envisages the construction of a new section of track extending some 8 kilometres to connect the historical Venice-Trieste line and the construction of a new underground Venice-Airport station.
The new connection can be utilised by both long-distance and regional trains.
Vincenzo Macello was appointed Extraordinary Governmental Commissioner for completion of the works.
