Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006264

The process of constructing a second, parallel roadway or railway line alongside an existing one, effectively creating a divided highway or a double-track railway.

Twinning projects are common for upgrading single-lane or single-track routes to accommodate higher traffic volumes.
