Webuild is working on additional railway lots with Iricav Due, which also comprises Hitachi Rail STS with 17% of the partnership and Lamaro Appalti and Fintecna as minority participants in that venture.

The second lot will stretch approximately 6.2km from the commune of Altavilla Vicentina to Vicenza railway station. It will also include the replacement of 4.8km of existing track.

This will enable further high-speed regional freight transit services along the Milan-Venice route. It will ensure greater separation of traffic flows, resulting in increased capacity and regularity of service, shorter travel times, and increased train frequency.

The Verona-Padua line, encompassing 76.5km long, has been divided into three lots.
