The Palace of Cartagena has hosted Friday a new meeting of the Cartagena High Speed ​​Board which has been unanimously endorsed the option of drawing the AVE approved in the municipal plenary session on June 7, 2018, which included a series of parameters indispensable as the roads did not divide any neighborhood, the arrival of the underground train, the deviation of the line of merchandise, the connection of this with the future ZAL of Los Camachos and the decided commitment to intermodality.

The mayor Ana Belén Castejón, who has appeared after the meeting with the Secretary of State for Development, Pedro Saura, and the Minister of Development, Patricio Valverde, has described as "historic" the agreement reached this morning.

"Today is an important day because the three competent administrations have unanimously approved the proposal made by the Secretary of State for Development concerning the railway integration of Cartagena," he said.

Thus, the agreement reached provides for the burial of the 800 meter line to Torreciega in the first phase, with the possibility of extending it up to 3.3 kilometers.

Likewise, it has been approved to request the Ministry to draft the informative study to make a line that takes out the merchandise traffic of the city, connecting the Port of Escombreras with the ZAL of Los Camachos and attacking the deviation of the Alumbres deputation.

The Secretary of State considers good news for Cartagena that, after many unfulfilled promises, there is now a viable project, with the backing of the three administrations, and that there will be no delay since the arrival deadlines are still fixed in 2023

The intermodality is fundamental for the Mediterranean Corridor as it is also for the Port of Cartagena and has advanced that in the coming days will present the proposal of ADIF to completely remodel the Cartagena railway station, which will involve an investment of 5 million euros .
