Adif has tendered a contract for the drafting of the works project aimed at the suppression of a level crossing located at kilometer 512/473 of the conventional Chinchilla-Cartagena railway line, in the municipality of Pozo Estrecho (Cartagena).
The level crossing, protected by interconnected semi-barriers, is 232 meters from the Pozo Estrecho station in the direction of Murcia and corresponds to the crossing of the MU-311 regional road, which connects the municipalities of La Palma and Pozo Estrecho.
The contract has a tender budget of 76,441 euros (VAT included) and an execution period of 12 months, and provides for the following actions:
Topographic and geotechnical studies of the foundation area, construction of structures, embankments and trenches.
Assessment of expropriations that may be necessary for the execution of the works.
Environmental integration measures of the solution adopted and the development of the works, including the affected service areas, loans and material spills.
Calculation of transverse and longitudinal drainage and stormwater drainage.
Calculation of the firm package needed to provide quality of service to road traffic.
Enclosure of the railway line in the surrounding areas, in order to improve the security conditions of the environment.
The level crossing suppression project responds to Adif's commitment to improve rail safety, with actions that increase infrastructure quality levels, improve protection and awareness campaigns among citizens.
Each project is integrated into a schedule that prioritizes actions according to the level of risk of each step and coordinates its execution with the different owners of the roads, such as municipalities and autonomous communities, fundamentally.
