Valle del Torto station will be constructed, while Cerda and Lercara stations are expected to be renovated.

The stations will be installed with systems to promote efficient water usage and enable the collection of rainwater.

The companies will use modern technology and advanced construction methods to maximise the sustainability of the project.

Rete Ferroviaria Italiana will commission the project, which is expected to help enhance Sicily’s infrastructure and shorten travel times between the island’s key cities.
