“The Mediterranean Corridor is the main east-west axis in the TEN-T Network south of the Alps. It links the Spanish ports of Algeciras, Cartagena, Valencia, Castellὀn, Tarragona and Barcelona with Madrid and along the Mediterranean coastline through southern France- Marseille and Nice until Italy Genoa and La Spezia. It runs from Marseille towards Lyon across the Alpes and northern Italy via Turin, Milan, Verona, Bologna, Padova, Venice and Trieste. It links also with Ljubljana and a branch via Croatia (Rijeka, Zagreb), to Budapest and to Lviv in Ukraine. The Corridor is approximately 3000 km long. It covers rail and road, airports, ports, freight multimodal terminals, RRT's and, in Northern Italy, also the Po river inland waterway. Key projects are the gauge change to European standard guage in Spain, the new high-speed line Montpellier-Perpignan, the Lyon-Turin railway base tunnel, the second rail track on the Koper-Divaca line and the overall modernisation of railways infrastructure in the Eastern part of the Corridor.” (European Commission)
