Upgrade of intermodal terminal in Madrid enters next stage

The Madrid-Vicálvaro intermodal terminal is currently undergoing a comprehensive remodeling that will see the implementation of 18 tracks to handle 740-metre trains. Last week, Spanish infrastructure manager Adif launched a tender to start the third phase of the project, which includes the development of a yard equipped with four tracks with terminal heads both north and south. The terminal is quite important for Spain, as it is part of both the Atlantic and Mediterranean TEN-T Corridors.
