"Місто" Івано-Франківськ
Ukrzaliznytsia wants to restore the track between Halych and Pidvysoky, which was dismantled in 1944 – this will unite Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk by Intercity train.
About this informs press service of the Ministry of Infrastructure.
The agency noted that preparations for the modernization and electrification of the railway section between Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk have already begun. The government’s decision on the allocation of funds for the development of a feasibility study is currently pending.
“In addition to optimizing routes in the west of the country, this option will reduce travel time by 3 hours from the cities of central and southern Ukraine to Prykarpattia, including key mountain resorts in the region,” said Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov.
The ministry adds that the restoration of the railway route between Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk will reduce the distance between the regional centers from the current 283 km to 141 km.
