Serbia’s Southeast is set to benefit from a fast and reliable railroad, offering people a better, safer, and greener connection. This improved link will extend further into Bulgaria, strengthening Serbia’s connection with an EU country. The modernisation of this bustling cargo line is expected to drive economic development both regionally and nationally. President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, and the EU Ambassador to the Republic of Serbia, Emanuele Giaufret, visited the works on the railway line Niš – Dimitrovgrad reconstruction. The overall modernisation of the almost 104 km long Niš – Dimitrovgrad railway line includes the reconstruction and modernisation of the existing, not-electrified single-track railway line from Sićevo to Dimitrovgrad. It also entails the construction of the North rail bypass around the City of Niš as well as the electrification and signalling of both the existing railway line from Sićevo to Dimitrovgrad and the Niš bypass. The project will not only improve the railway traffic from the City of Niš to the border with Bulgaria, but due to the newly introduced bypass take the trains out of the city centre of Niš and thus contribute to the facilitation of traffic in the urban area of the City of Niš.
