European and Latin American Transport Projects Secure Multi-Million Euro Investments

Balearic Islands railway upgrade Algeciras port South Access Cali MÍO bus fleet Mar del Plata transport tender Adif electrification contract

The Balearic Islands government approved a €6.17 million investment to build a double‑track railway segment between Petra and Manacor, aiming to double service frequency. In Spain, the Ministry of Transport and Mobility Sustainable began night‑time rehabilitation works on the TO‑22 highway near Toledo, a €3.07 million project scheduled to finish mid‑September. The new South Access to the Port of Algeciras entered service after a €43.34 million upgrade funded by the EU NextGenerationEU programme, improving freight traffic capacity. In Colombia, Cali’s council gave the mayor authority to commit $285 billion for 340 new buses for the MÍO mass‑transit system, pending final council approval. Argentina’s Mar del Plata transport tender now includes an antitrust clause requiring at least two independent operators and will fund 600 bus shelters through ticket revenues. Spain’s competition regulator CNMC approved a modest 1.5 % fare rise for Madrid‑Alicante high‑speed tickets by 2028. Adif received approval to tender a €13.7 million contract to modernise remote monitoring and protocol converters for railway electrification. Finally, Madrid’s Cercanías network will spend €44.29 million to extend platforms at Embajadores and Laguna stations, enhancing accessibility and capacity for the line that serves 72 million passengers annually.
