Webuild, as part of a consortium, has won a contract worth approximately €660 million to build the first section of Lot 1 of the new Line 10 of the Naples metro network in southern Italy. The lot is part of a broader project involving an estimated total investment of more than €3.1 billion, which is set to transform mobility in the city’s northeastern area. Line 10 will have driverless trains. Once fully operational, it will enable more than 400,000 residents to benefit from a fast and sustainable connection to the city centre and the high-speed rail network.

With this new contract, Webuild – leading the consortium that will build Lot 1 of Line 10 – strengthens its role in developing strategic infrastructure in Southern Italy, where the Group is currently working on 19 projects, including on the islands, for a total awarded value of more than €15 billion. These projects provide employment to 8,700 people, both directly and indirectly as of June 30, 2025. They also have involved 7,600 direct suppliers since the start of construction on the projects.

With more than 890 km of metro lines built worldwide, Webuild confirms its position as a global leader in complex infrastructure for urban mobility. In Italy, the Group continues to reshape the face of major cities: in Naples, 21 stations have been built or are under construction, including some of the iconic “Art Stations,” while in Milan it delivered Line M4, which connects the city center to Linate Airport in just 12 minutes. In Rome, the recently inaugurated archeostations Colosseo/Fori Imperiali and Porta Metronia on Line C mark the Capital’s first driverless section, combining cutting-edge infrastructure with the preservation of cultural heritage through the recovery of archaeological finds unearthed during excavation.

The Line 10 Metro mega-project in Naples, developed in collaboration among the Municipality of Naples and the Campania Region (with EAV, overseeing the works), is among the most strategic initiatives for sustainable mobility in Southern Italy. It will connect the city centre to the Naples-Afragola high-speed rail station, already built by the Webuild Group. The station is set to become a strategic hub linking Northern and Southern Italy and integrating regional and national transport systems.

Lot 1 includes the executive design and construction of civil works for Line 10, which will be carried out in phases. The contract covers approximately €660 million already awarded for the first 6.5 kilometres (Phase 1A). It also grants the exclusive right to execute additional works – pending financing – up to a total value of more than €1.7 billion for the future completion of the line. Phase 1A is expected to generate up to 700 jobs, both direct and indirect, rising to up to 1,500 towards the full completion of the project. The consortium includes Webuild, Eteria Consorzio Stabile, Costruire, ICM, and M.N. Metropolitana di Napoli.

The route of Line 10, which will be approximately 14 kilometres long from Naples-Afragola high-speed station to Principe Umberto station, will be almost entirely underground, with tunnels excavated using traditional methods and tunnel-boring machines (TBMs). Phase 1A works will cross the municipalities of Afragola, Casoria, Casavatore and Naples, and have seven stations: three to be built (Di Vittorio, Casoria Centro, Afragola) and four to be partially built in this first phase (Casavatore San Pietro, Casoria Casavatore, Casoria Afragola, Afragola Garibaldi). The completion of the line will include an additional 7.3 kilometres of line and 5 stations, the completion of the four stations partially built in Phase 1A, and other related works such as the construction of a new parking facility serving the Naples-Afragola high-speed station.

The 12 stations planned for the entire project will be built with minimal impact on the urban surroundings, reaching depths of up to 45 metres, with tunnels featuring an internal diametre of 8.6 metres. Line 10, which will serve several densely populated municipalities in the Naples periphery and bring metro access to neighbourhoods currently not served by the metro network, will become a key component of the city’s public transport system thanks to new interchange hubs with Naples Metro Lines 1, 2, and 11, as well as the Circumvesuviana railway.
