SPATIAL PLAN FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES - INFRASTRUCTURE CORRIDOR SUBOTICA – STATE BORDER WITH HUNGARY (CSIKÉRIA) RAILWAY TRACK

SERBIA



Spatial plan for special purposes shall define and elaborate infrastructure corridor of the subject railway, including the strategic evaluation of the environmental impact


Project description

Planning, usage and protection of the area within the Spatial Plan shall be based on the principles of improvement and increase of quality and quantity of railway traffic and infrastructure, utilization of favorable geographical and traffic position of the Republic of Serbia and faster progress of integration, with reduction of harmful impact on the environment, respecting European standards, system stability, environmental reliability, safety and cost-effectiveness.
The vision for the planning area includes the interoperability of the Trans-European railway network therefore, the main objective of the development of the subject railway is modernization and reconstruction of the line for speeds up to 160 km/h.
The goals of the Project are to determine:
- planning solutions for Subotica-State border railway corridor (Baja direction), defining the boundaries of the protection zone and its regime;
- the conditions for intersection with infrastructure systems in direct contact;
- environmental impacts and protection measures.


 The situation

It is currently rather difficult to travel from Subotica to Baja: there is one line every day that covers the distance in 2 hours and 36 minutes with one change of trains, which is rather long for such a short distance (58,6km). The situation is even worse when considering the 25km distance between Subotica and Bácsalmás, where travelling time is 2 hours and 04 minutes.
