Entrusted to a consortium comprising Contratas y Ventas and FCC Industrial e Infraestructuras Energéticas, the project will encompass the establishment of a variant track south of Valladolid near Pinar de Antequera.

Integral to the plan is the electrification of tracks tailored for 750-metre trains and container slab access at the expansive Valladolid Railway Complex.
