This WBIF technical assistance grant finances the preparation of Detailed design for building permit and Tender Documents for the construction of a single-track, 22 km long, railway bypass around Niš.
The investment is part of the overhaul of the railway line between Niš and Dimitrovgrad at the border with Bulgaria on Corridor Xc, which includes rehabilitation, electrification, signalling, and telecommunication systems. Construction of the railway bypass around Niš will allow railway transport to become more competitive and will provide shorter travel time by rail compared to road.
