The project envisages the construction of a new line as a route variant from Avigliana to Orbassano station, for a total development of about 24 kilometres, of which about 17 kilometres is in tunnels. Preliminary work is also planned for the getting the Orbassano transport hub back into operation along with enhancing the performance of the existing Bussoleno-Avigliana line through technological upgrading, adaptation to the technical specifications of interoperability, the elimination of certain level crossings, the construction of two new signalling controls and the acoustic restoration of the section.
