The mayoress of Teruel, Emma Buj, explained in a working meeting with the president of the Port Authority of Valencia (APV), Aurelio Martínez, the potential of the area next to Platea and the Airport.
They will carry out a cargo study to find out the possibilities of the capital of Teruel hosting a goods warehouse.
The president of the Port Authority of Valencia (PAV), Aurelio Martínez, and the mayoress of Teruel, Emma Buj, held a working meeting on Friday 17 September in order to exchange views and join common interests.
During the meeting, Buj expressed Teruel City Council’s interest in the Port of Valencia continuing to invest in the improvements of the Valencia-Teruel-Zaragoza railway line, “as it is already doing at the moment, and that these investments can be boosted in the future beyond the ones we know today”.
Both parties committed themselves to jointly carry out a freight study to find out the possibilities for Teruel to host some infrastructure related to freight storage in the future.
The mayoress highlighted “the great possibilities that the capital has for the future when the A-23, the planned A-40, the freight station planned in the bypass, which we still do not know the exact point but the Ministry of Transport welcomed the idea presented by the City Council of Teruel so that the goods do not enter the city of Teruel, which avoids inconvenience to the people of Teruel and makes the line much more competitive”.
In this sense, Buj highlighted the fact that Platea, the airport, the freight railway station and the link between the A-40 and the A-23 will coincide in the same space in the future, “hence the study of the load capacity that could lead to the existence of a freight storage infrastructure at that specific point”.
The meeting took place in a very cordial atmosphere, highlighting once again the close links between the capital of Teruel and the Valencian community.
