Atlantic Core Network Corridor
Trans-european transport initiative
The Atlantic Core Network Corridor or simply Atlantic Corridor is a European initiative developed from the Trans-European Transport Network to create a high capacity railway and road corridor connecting Portugal, Spain and France,[1] and later extended to Germany as well.[2] When it's finished, the Iberian branch is planned to become one of the main transport networks of the Peninsula, alongside the Mediterranean Corridor,[3] and, in general, it has been said to be "fundamental for European cohesion".[4] It will include the following sections:
- Algeciras – Bobadilla – Madrid
- Sines/Lisboa – Madrid – Valladolid
- Lisboa – Aveiro – Leixões/Porto
- Aveiro – Valladolid – Vitoria – Bergara – Bilbao/Bordeaux – Paris – Le Havre/Metz – Mannheim/Strasbourg
