The PP proposes activating, in collaboration with the private initiative, more than 300,000 million euros over the next 15 years through a National Infrastructure Plan that includes expressways and highways, High Speed, commuter rail (Cercanías), and hydraulic and energy facilities.
This proposal appears in the PP’s electoral program, titled "National reconstruction. The program of the necessary change for Spain", where it is established that the security and maintenance of existing infrastructures will take priority in the Budgets.
The party commits to auditing the condition and operation of the infrastructures, reviewing the efficiency of the investments made, and attending first to the most urgent needs. "Conservation will come before new works," the document states, which makes new projects conditional on there being resources available to finance them.
The program defines this initiative as "the largest infrastructure plan in decades" and links it both to territorial cohesion and to strengthening economic competitiveness. The figure above 300,000 million refers to the total volume of resources that the PP aims to mobilize with private participation, and not solely to direct public spending.
Railway renewal and attention to the user
In the railway field, the PP proposes reviewing the more than 1,000 temporary speed limitations included in the document and calculating the investments needed to eliminate them, establishing priorities for the short and medium term. It also wants to put in place an urgent passenger assistance plan when a train is blocked during its journey.
In High Speed, the conservatives are betting on renovating the oldest tracks and trains and strengthening preventive maintenance in order to reduce breakdowns and delays, starting with the corridor towards Andalucía. The program also includes the commitment to make compensation for delays effective.
The training advocates completing the already initiated works, while the new connections would be carried out gradually, once the safety of the current network is ensured, with "realistic schedules", closed financing, and a clear forecast of maintenance costs.
In Cercanías and Rodalies, the PP proposes acting first on the lines with the most incidents, delays, and cancellations, modernizing tracks, rolling stock, and systems, and strengthening frequencies according to demand. It also proposes speeding up the remaining sections of the Mediterranean Corridor, the Atlantic Corridor, and the Ruta de la Plata, updating the conventional network, and backing the projects of the Trans-European Transport Network in Spain.
Roads, ports, airports, and water management
The program includes a specific conservation plan for the more than 26,500 kilometers of state roads, prioritizing the sections with more traffic, worse condition, and greater road fatalities. It includes the creation of safe overtaking lanes where necessary and the expansion of rest areas and safe parking for truckers.
These actions are complemented by investments to facilitate the rollout of 5G on high-capacity routes and the installation of charging points that drive the decarbonization of road transport.
In the 46 ports of general interest, the PP proposes improving rail and road access, adapting expansions to actual demand, and extending electrical supply to the vessels moored. In the case of airports, it proposes resolving bottlenecks and addressing only expansions backed by the expected demand and the needs for territorial connectivity.
In water matters, the conservatives defend the signing of a National Water Accord and expect to mobilize, within the National Infrastructure Plan, up to 40,000 million euros in investment through 2030. These actions would include the modernization of irrigation and the creation of new water resources through infrastructure, desalination, and reuse.
