AFRY to design the Cavezzolo Viaduct in the Lugano Tram‑Train network

AFRY, together with Bänziger Partner AG as part of the “Consorzio AB”, has been entrusted with the design of the Cavezzolo Viaduct, a central structure within the Rete Tram‑Treno del Luganese. The award follows the strategic planning phase of the new tram‑train connection, which will link Lugano city centre with the two surrounding valleys through modern, high‑capacity public transport.

“The Cavezzolo Viaduct is a vital link in an ambitious mobility program that will reshape public transport across the Lugano region. We are proud to lead this complex engineering assignment and to contribute our multidisciplinary expertise to a project that will deliver long‑term value for passengers, communities and the region”, says Marcel Winter, Head of Segment Road & Rail, AFRY.

As both a functional and architectural landmark, the viaduct will play a central role in enhancing regional connectivity, reducing travel times and support sustainable urban growth. Together with the adjacent Breganzona tunnel — where AFRY is already actively involved — the viaduct forms part of an integrated mobility corridor for the Lugano region.

Work will run from 2026 to 2035, with completion planned by 2035. Estimated order value for AFRY is approximately 18 MSEK.
