"We would be talking about a project that could take us five years within a maintenance window being reduced to less than 24 months, or 12 months under normal conditions, but during that time users would be deprived of the service. It is something we have to assess," Puente said
Last June, the Transport Ministry awarded a €112.7 million contract for the supply of more than 680,000 aerotraviesas, a technology developed in Spain that makes it possible to modernize the high-speed line and restore the maximum speed for which it was originally designed: 350 km/h. The project focuses on the section between Mejorada del Campo and Calatayud
AZCÓN CALLS FOR REPORTS JUSTIFYING THE MEASURE
Azcón announced that the Government of Aragón would contact the Transport Ministry "immediately" to request "all the documentation and reports that could support that statement." The regional president made the remarks after the minute of silence held by CEOE Aragón in memory of Fátima Báñez.
The Aragonese leader said he was "extremely concerned" about the possibility of interrupting rail traffic during the works and questioned why the option was being considered now: "It took two accidents in which more than 100 people died for the ministry to consider taking measures and halting rail traffic."
