Line 7 (Italian: Linea 7), also known as Intraflegrea, will be a commuter rail line, part of the Naples metropolitan railway service in Naples, Italy. It will connect the Circumflegrea railway to the Cumana railway through an entirely underground route starting from Soccavo station. Locals also refers to it as the Monte Sant’Angelo link (bretella di Monte Sant'Angelo), as it will be the first rail connection serving the Monte Sant'Angelo university complex.[1]
The first section of the line, from Soccavo to Parco San Paolo, is currently under construction, while the next station, Terracina, is awaiting the start of works. The final section is still in the preliminary design phase, as various project scenarios have been developed regarding its connection to the Cumana railway.
Construction of the line began in 2008 but was halted in 2011 due to a financial dispute between the Campania regional government and the construction companies. Work resumed in 2016 following new funding.[2]
On June 29, 2021, the contract for the project revision of Parco San Paolo station was signed.[3]
In EAV's investment review plan of November 2021, a route modification was proposed, which includes an extension and subsequent connection to the Cumana railway at Bagnoli station, with the undergrounding of the existing section from Bagnoli to Mostra-Stadio Maradona. This update also includes a new stop serving the Gioacchino Rossini hospitality institute on Via Terracina, as well as the relocation of Giochi del Mediterraneo station further west, with a possible interchange with Line 2.[4]
