Ourense infrastructure and rail management
Overview
Infrastructure development in Ourense, Spain, has faced significant delays during the current legislative period. Major projects, including the A-76 and A-56 highways and AVE high-speed rail expansions, remain stalled. Data from the construction association Seopan shows that Ourense has received substantially less state investment than provinces such as A Coruña and Pontevedra. The railway sector has specifically struggled with technical failures in catenary lines and delays of up to seven hours, while the proposed freight station in San Cibrao das Viñas remains frozen.
In response to organizational shifts and scrutiny following the Urda railway accident in Toledo, Adif is decentralizing rail traffic management. Control of high-speed trains between Ourense and Santiago de Compostela is being transferred from the Atocha center in Madrid to a new Circulation Regulation Center in Ourense. This facility, located in the former San Francisco station, is being equipped with advanced technology to manage 1,151 kilometers of railway lines across three different track gauges.
