Abstract: |
The 130 km long Koralmbahn line between Graz and Klagenfurt is one of the most significant transport infrastructure projects in Europe. It is part of the new southern route and thus an important link in the Baltic-Adriatic corridor. The key structure on the Koralmbahn line is the 32.9 km long Koralm Tunnel - but construction of the new high speed line will also require 12 new stations and stops, more than 100 bridges and underbridges as well as numerous further tunnels. In Austrias point of view, the Koralmbahn line will represent a considerable structural improvement, especially for Southeast Austria as an industrial location. The quickest journey time between Graz and Klagenfurt will be considerably reduced from currently almost three hours to 45 minutes, with a simultaneous improvement of accessibility. |
