Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

I think they all did

Checking ÖBB's on-line timetalbe, it seems that's the case, although I find no ÖBB announcement for the re-start of the last services (told to continue as bus in the communique I linked).

I don't know if this is definite yet, but this is supposed to include a freight bypass of Trento on the other side of the Adige, and a tunnel for the passenger trains into the city.

That's the other side of the tunnel. Unlike for the Munich-Wörgl section, there were detailed plans especially for the section between Bolzano and the BBT for years, although I haven't checked the status of those projects for some time.

Now I had some time to check it. Looking at official pages on the South Tyrol regional government page and an information site (links in German but both are multilingual sites), both last refreshed years ago, the BBT–Verona quadruple-tracking project as a whole seems stuck, with detailed studies and environmental permissions and some local consultations done but presumably no solid financing yet. The Bolzano Bypass sub-project was tabled to start in 2014, but L'Espresso's overview expects that for 2017, and 2020 for the Trento Bypass.

However, the newest I find for the Trento Bypass is a news at an Italian rail news site from February, reporting an agreement between the national and provincial governments with the following timetable (if I translated right):

  • March 2013: setting up of a joint committee of the ministry of transport and the autonomous province of Trento to oversee progress
  • 31 December 2014: approval of the preliminary design by the Inter-ministerial Committee for Economic Planning
  • 31 December 2015: completion of the final design
