Międzynarodowa trasa kolejowa Lyon-Turyn

The new Lyon-Turin rail connection (a priority project for the European Union) lies at the intersection between the north-south and east-west axes of communication, uniting Europe. The Lyon-Turin link will help to complete the European rail network, both for passengers and freight. On a regional level, the new line will improve relations and exchanges between two important economic areas: Northern Italy (the plain of the Po and the Northern Alps) and the Rhone valley in France. Central to the project, the joint Franco-Italian stretch will include a major civil-engineering structure: the more than 50 km long tunnel between Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and the Susa Valley.
