Zaprešić – Zabok railway modernisation and electrification (R201)

The €74.4 million is the works contract. The grant agreement is worth €102.6 million, of which €81.5 million is eligible cost; the two are different figures. The grant implementation period runs from January 2014 to December 2023. The works rebuilt the stations Novi Dvori, Luka, Veliko Trgovišće and Zabok, the stops Pojatno, Kupljenovo and Žeinci, and electrified the line, allowing passenger trains up to 120 km/h. Length measured from OpenStreetMap geometry is 23.6 km against the 23.9 km recorded by HŽ Infrastruktura; the drawn line starts about 150 m after Zaprešić station and ends at Zabok.

Contract signed on 2 June 2026. The €16 million covers €13 million for the track and €3 million for four bridges and three culverts. The first phase covers the track grid, drainage, stops and level crossings, with a two-year deadline; buildings, including station buildings, may follow in a second phase. A board member of Pružne građevine said works were expected to start in the autumn of 2026, so no construction start is recorded. Line speed is to rise to 80 km/h. This is the local line Zabok – Gornja Stubica (L202), a branch off R201 at Hum-Lug, not R201 itself. Length of 11 km as stated by HŽ Infrastruktura; the drawn line, measured from OpenStreetMap geometry, is 10.6 km.
