Bergamo, 15 April 2026
On 15 April, Bergamo Station reached a major milestone with the official opening of its new underpass—a strategic infrastructure asset for the city’s urban and rail transport network.
FS Engineering played a leading technical and management role by leading the project’s site supervision, safety coordination, and project management activities across all construction phases, with a special focus on harmonizing structural requirements and architectural excellence.
The original underpass was completely demolished and rebuilt to align with the new Rail Plan currently being implemented under the city’s General Urban Development Plan (PRG). The new structure is future-proofed to accommodate direct connections to the platforms via integrated stairs and elevators, meeting the most rigorous international standards for accessibility, safety, and operational functionality.
The new underpass restores the vital urban link between Piazzale Marconi and Via Gavazzeni, seamlessly integrating the railway station with the city’s urban fabric. Throughout the construction phase, pedestrian continuity was maintained via a dedicated, protected ground-level route established following the removal of station tracks.
Executed by contractors Quadrio Gaetano Costruzioni and S.I.F.EL., these works are a key component of Rete Ferroviaria Italiana’s Commissioning Plan for the refurbishment and modernization of Bergamo station.
The project’s scale is defined by its technical specifications: a length of 160 meters, a height range of 2.5 to 3 meters, and a clear width of 5.75 meters. Construction required 1,350 m³ of concrete and 371,000 kg of steel. The finish features 900 m² of eco-friendly composite panels for the ventilated walls, supported by approximately 24,000 meters of cabling for advanced lighting, CCTV, and public announcement systems.
The architectural vision is embodied in the structure's panelling: dynamic volumes transition into flat surfaces where interweaving lines and sharp angles diverge. This design draws inspiration from the energy and momentum inherent in modern transit forms.
Through this redevelopment project, FS Engineering reinforces its role as a leader in complex railway infrastructure, contributing to the delivery of advanced, secure, and sustainable transport networks at a regional level.
