The final design of the segment between Treviglio and Brescia was approved by CIPE in November 2007, with €2.05 billion in funding provided by the Economic Financial Planning Document (DPEF) between 2007 and 2011.

On 7 March 2011, an agreement was signed between Rete Ferroviaria Italiana and Cepav Due for the first part of the project, valued at €700 million.

[2] The section of the Brescia Est – Verona high speed line has been approved in 2016 and construction started with a projected opening in 2026.

It crosses the Lombardy and Veneto Regions, 11 municipalities within the provinces of Brescia, Verona and Mantua (the latter only for road work purposes) and foresees for the construction of a railway track extending approximately 48 kilometres (30 mi), including 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) for the Verona Merci interconnection linking the Verona-Brenner railway axis.

The project approved by the CIPE involved the construction of a new high-speed, high capacity railway that bypasses the city of Bergamo to the south, reaching Brescia along a trajectory that is mostly separate from the conventional line.

From this location, at the completion of the railway line up to Verona, there will be a branch to Brescia West junction, joining with the conventional route.
