Seville regional transport infrastructure development
Overview
Authorities in Seville are evaluating several infrastructure projects to improve regional connectivity and public transport. Initial discussions focused on a proposed railway connection between the Santa Justa station and the airport, estimated to cost over 300 million euros. While a preferred route involving a tunnel under the A-4 highway was proposed to serve 2.1 million passengers, the Seville City Council and the Junta de Andalucía raised objections regarding its distance from business hubs and potential impacts on urban development.
Efforts to enhance mobility have expanded to include broader metro and commuter rail strategies. Officials are considering the expansion of the Seville Metro through new lines, such as a metropolitan Line 2 to connect Sevilla Este with surrounding municipalities. Alternatively, planners are exploring the creation of an interchange between the metro and the Cercanías commuter rail system, specifically at El Higuerón Norte, to better integrate the Aljarafe region and La Rinconada into the metropolitan network.
