Second Divača–Koper track due to receive operating permit in April 2027

According to Delo, construction of the second track between Divača and Koper is entering its final phase after more than six years, but the completion date has slipped from the end of September to the end of 2026. Regular operation requires the operating permit, expected in April 2027; at least two of six large wells stabilising the landslide slope above the Glinščica valley must be finished first. The project company 2TDK expects costs of no more than €1.15bn, including €121.7m of price adjustments and over €50m of additional works. The date 30 Apr 2027 applies to the start of regular operation; announced on 21 Sep 2026 (Delo, 21 Sep 2026).
