The Action is part of a Global Project aiming to remove the bottleneck in the rail freight access of main port Rotterdam connecting three core network corridors (Rhine Alpine, North Sea-Mediterranean and North Sea-Baltic), by upgrading the infrastructural node at Caland Bridge and rerouting rail freight transport via an alternative route: The Theemsweg railway section.The Action’s main objective is to carry out the civil infrastructure works to create the alternative route to avoid the Caland Bridge, consisting of the double track Theemsweg railway section of an approximate length of 4.5 km.
