High performace railway line from the state borderline Botovo - Zagreb – Rijeka

The area through which the new railway line passes, from the State borderline (Botovo) through Zagreb to Rijeka, is actually within the corridor of the existing railway line, in the sector from the State borderline to Dugo Selo and from Hrvatski Leskovac to Karlovac. From Karlovac onward, the railway passes through a completely new corridor which passes through Zvečaj, Josipdol, Velika Kapela, Novi Vinodol up to Rijeka (Krasica). The route in the new corridor passes over an exceptionally rough relief, geologically complex area as well as protected parts of nature, representing an all encompassing challenge regarding planning and design. The idea of a new corridor exceeds the significance of only a new traffic route. It is an intervention into the complete urban and traffic development of central Croatian area, specifically the Karlovac and the Primorsko – Goranska Counties. This project is very important for the overall Croatian economy, especially for the development of the Rijeka Port and its integration with the Ports of Koper and Trieste into the European Railway network system. Since the new route is shorter for some 50 kilometers, it shall significantly contribute to the decrease of transportation costs in relation to the present situation. The paper gives an outline of how the Study and Design documentation was prepared for the subject new railway corridor, especially with regard to Sector III, from Zagreb to Rijeka, which is presently defined by a Contract. The paper deals with the problems occurring during design development of such a complex infrastructural project, primarily due to the lack of domestic legislation in this particular field.
