The contract includes electrification of the track and modernisation of the infrastructure along the Los Prados – Airport stretch, building of the new Airport train station, installation of the double track along the route and building of a new tunnel that will allow diverting the existing surface route underground.

It also includes dismantling of the current railroad, the demolition of the bridge over the Guadalhorce River and the structures at Cesar Vallejo Street and Azucarera-Intelhorce road also the demolition of the overpass to the existing Airport railway station, which is out of service.

Malaga-Fuengirola line
