The renovation work officially began in June 2019, and since then, the construction sites have remained operative 24/7. As well as the city of Bari, the works involved the areas of Triggiano, Capurso and Noicattaro, covering a stretch totalling 10.434 km. The first phase of the project involved the construction of a box tunnel with a height of 6.85 m and a width of 10 m, with the installation of inclined slabs and a handrail, to link Triggiano railway station to the town of Capurso. Near Noicattaro station, a number of important earthworks and structural works were carried out, including manholes and stone arch bridges.
For the reorganisation and environmental redevelopment of Triggiano and Capurso, the existing level crossings were replaced by a train control system that guarantees greater safety right along the rail line. To protect the homes located near the construction sites, an environmental monitoring plan was implemented along with the Local Health Authority, involving checks carried out on the noise, vibrations and dust emitted.
