The project for the completion of the HSR station in Naples-Afragola was carried out in 2 years, without interrupting the operation of the existing line. The new station building has a design with soft lines and like a bridge overlooks the tracks, serving as connection for the territory divided by the Rome-Naples railway line. 

Designed by the architect Zaha Hadid, the new station is marked by its curved shapes, which influenced both the choice of materials (steel, glass, Corian®), and the construction procedures: part of the formwork for building the reinforced concrete walls was designed ad hoc to build curved walls made using the fair-face technique. The station, about 500 by 40 m in size, crosses the tracks with a single span of about 30 metres.

The contract for the completion of the project was taken over in 2015, rising to the challenge to complete a project marked by high construction complexity. This challenge was met by completing the first phase of activity in only two years, without ever interfering with the daily operation of the Rome-Naples high-speed line, as the customer demanded. 

Thanks to the completion of a first phase of works, the station has been in service since 11 June 2017.
