Sarajevo-Bradina Line, Bosnia

The worksite was launched in January 2015.

It involves the entire Sarajevo-Bradina section, along Corridor V connecting Sarajevo to Mostar, with the aim of bringing railway traffic up to the 120 km/h standard set by the European Union, overcoming the numerous bottlenecks that previously made speeds above 20 km/h impossible.

Sarajevo-Bradina: the project

The executive project for this 30 km section includes the complete replacement of rails, sleepers and switches, as well as the rehabilitation and restructuring of 19 bridges, 17 underpasses, access ramps and other minor civil structures.

The works also include the full reconstruction of the overhead contact line (OCL) along the entire section, as well as track and civil works in the 3.2 km Ivan Tunnel – a historic stone tunnel only 3.60 m wide, subject to significant water infiltration. These factors led GCF to install the track on a concrete platform.
