Overview
- - Spain’s transport minister reviewed the works on 17 October, reporting infrastructure largely finished, the bypass track premounted on ballast, and catenary posts installed.
- - Remaining critical tasks include supplying and installing the connecting turnouts and completing Control, Command and Signalling systems, coordinated with live high‑speed operations.
- - Puente outlined a timeline of construction completion in May 2026 followed by safety testing, with the aim of opening before the end of 2026.
- - The €39 million Adif Alta Velocidad project, supported by FEDER, links the Madrid–Sevilla and Córdoba–Málaga high‑speed lines to eliminate the Córdoba detour and reverse, easing congestion at Córdoba‑Julio Anguita.
- - Works required rectifying about 1,089 meters of the Alcázar de San Juan–Cádiz conventional line and building a pergola for the grade‑separated crossing, and some future direct services would bypass Córdoba to improve station operations.
