UPGRADE OF THE MARIBOR–ŠENTILJ–STATE BORDER RAILWAY LINE
The Maribor–Šentilj–state border with Austria railway line is part of the main Zidani Most–Šentilj–state border railway line and the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor.
By performing the upgrade, the line is updated and renovated in accordance with European standards. It includes the upgrade of the Maribor Tezno, Maribor, Pesnica, and Šentilj railway stations and the existing tracks in the Maribor–Počehova, Pesnica–Šentilj–state border sections, the upgrade and reconstruction of the overhead lines, the upgrade of the signalling safety devices and the Cirknica stop, the reconstruction of the existing Šentilj tunnel and the existing culverts and underpasses, the reconstruction and construction of retaining and supporting walls along the line, the construction of crossings between roads and the railway, including the Cirknica overpass and the Ranca viaduct, and the installation of 13 km of noise barriers.
A new 3.5 km line is being built in the Počehova–Pesnica section, where the 1.5 km Pekel tunnel and the just under a kilometre long Pesnica viaduct are located.
THE LINE WAS BUILT IN 1846 AS PART OF THE
SOUTH VIENNA–TRIESTE RAILWAY.
