The €776m (US$904m) contract covers the link between the Clodio/Mazzini and Farnesina stations in the northern quadrant of the Italian capital.
The consortium also has the contract for the T2 section – a 4km stretch between Venezia Station and Clodio/Mazzini.
The T1 contract follows the opening in December of Line C’s Colosseo/Fori Imperiali and Porta Metronia archaeo stations. More than 625,000m3 of archaeological excavations were managed along the stretch of Line C from Monte Compatri/Pantano in the east to Clodio/Mazzini.
Section T1 will be built in an integrated manner with section T2. The latter, currently in the executive design phase, includes the first crossing under the Tiber River.
The awarding of the T1 section to the consortium will allow the continuation of mechanised excavation from Farnesina to Piazza Venezia, avoiding a fragmentation of the works. Meanwhile, work at the Venezia station is progressing as part of the second macro phase of its construction.
Line C will eventually extend for 29km with 31 stations, from the eastern terminus at Monte Compatri/Pantano to Farnesina. To date, 24 stations have been completed from the eastern terminus to Colosseo/Fori Imperiali in the historic centre.
