The Polish construction consortium of 3302 Budimex and 2717 Ferrovial Agroman has won a tender to build a 22.6km section of the S3 express road between Silesian town of Legnica in the southwest and Lubin Poludiine, around 170km southeast of the capital Warsaw.

The bid by the consortium, in which Budimex has a 95% stake, was nearly US$234 million and construction is expected to take 30 months. Ferrovial Agroman is the engineering and construction arm of Spanish infrastructure group Ferrovial.

In early December, Budimex announced it was to build a ring road around the medieval town of Gniezno, about 50km from Poznan, in west-central Poland.

The Gniezno work includes construction of an 18km section of the express road and three interchanges, four bridges and five flyovers along the S5 road, as well as nine flyovers, including one passage for animals.

Construction is to take 22 months, meaning a start by March 2015.
