The government delegate in Galicia, Pedro Blanco, and the mayor of Culleredo, José Ramón Rioboo, held a working meeting in the Delegation in which they analyzed the project to install a rail freight terminal to replace the current one in San Diego formulated by the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility.
The mayor conveyed to the delegate the proposal that the Transportation Logistics Center (CLT) of Culleredo host the infrastructure given its strengths in terms of positioning and access, added to the fact that the park’s own sector project, approved in 2000, already contemplated the provision of the freight train.
The delimitation of the CLT reserves a land of 10.8 hectares for the development of an area of intermodal services along with the station since it is crossed by the platform of the old line A Coruña - Santiago. That forecast was made at the time, when the logistics park was designed, together with the then Ministry of Public Works.
Both agreed that the Transport Logistics Center has immediate access to the high-capacity land roads, as is the case of the A-6 and the AC-14, and to the railway, with a direct connection to key infrastructures such as the Alvedro airport, the external port, the main industrial estates and the city itself.
With this route, it was possible to carry out the installation of the terminal at a point that meets the requirements of connectivity and surface, and since it was already contemplated for the CLT in a project approved at the time with the approval of all administrations.
The government delegate showed his interest in the proposal made by the mayor of Culleredo and promised to transfer it to the Ministry of Transport to assess this option.
