The Sofia-Plovdiv railway line is part of the Sofia-Plovdiv-Istanbul direction along the Orient/Eastern-Mediterranean corridor of the Trans-European network (TEN-T). The line is of important national and strategic importance. The project to modernize the line will lead to better conditions for transporting passengers and cargo and reaching European interoperability standards [1]. One of the predicted effects of modernization is an increase in the volume of freight transport at the expense of road transport. This will lead to easing the road network, improving traffic safety and reducing harmful gases released into the atmosphere. Reduced travel time and improved accessibility of the environment will lead to an increase in passenger traffic. With the higher speed of movement, it is necessary to straighten the route compared to the existing one and to implement numerous tunnels, bridges and overpasses. The approved route crosses the territory of two areas of the ecological network Naturе 2000. These factors will lead to negative effects on the environment, cultural heritage and human health. The report examines measures to reduce noise, protect biological species, protect water and soil at the design stage. An analysis was made and the main risks facing the project were indicated. Currently, the project is at the construction stage with a completion date of 2027. After commissioning, it is planned to measure the measures included in the project to limit the harmful effects.
