Amarante and Marco. Infrastructure in Portugal eliminates level crossings
ONEIn addition to level crossing instruction techniques, this construction of buildings and signaling rooms is foreseen, according to the summary of the competition published in Diário da República last week.
The works will cover the municipalities of Lousada (Caíde), Amarante (Vila Meã), Penafiel (Castelões) and Marco de Canaveses.
The term of execution of the contract is 600 days.
On the 5th, in March of last year, it had launched a tender to carry out three level crossings on the Douro line, two in Amarante and one in Marco de Canaveses, which did not reach what is now included in a new public tender.
The works pointed to a contract at two different points in the parish of Vilaã (kilometers 50,274 and 51,145), in the municipality of Amarante, and in the locality of Livração Santo Isidoro (kilometer 56,527), in Marco de Canaveses, both municipalities in the district of Porto. .
According to the municipality, the intervention planned for Marco de Canaveses provided for the construction of a viaduct over the Odres River, a technical solution that had been proposed for IP by the City Council, to divert traffic from the historic and Ponte do Bairro.
In this area, the company will also build a road underpass, at kilometer 56,473 of the Douro Line, eliminating the existing level crossing, thus allowing the safe crossing of the railway track.
In the case of Vila Meã (Amarante), two pedestrian underpasses and a road underpass will be built, at kilometer 50,909.
One crossing of the level crossings to be removed next to the civic center, former parish of Real, and the second one is located on the connection between Avenida 25 de Abril and Rua António Pinto Marques, in the former parish of Ataíde, explained to Lusa the president of the Vila Meã Board, Lino Macedo.
The railway section between Caíde de Rei (Lousada) and Marco de Canaveses has increased in importance with a recent electrification, allowing the circulation of suburban trains in Porto, with significant gains in the number of passengers.
