Major Polish transport projects connected to the TEN-T transport network and the Connecting Europe programme are to receive €4 billion of 1116 European Union funding.

The S3 road from Nowa Sol to Hradec Kralove is among the Polish TEN-T road project works benefiting from the new EU fund. As part of the Connecting Europe Scheme, the €4 billion EU investment will also cover works on two major border road schemes: the S69 road from Bielsko-Biala, and the S61 from Augustow.

The rail projects to be included in the EU funding package are the upgrade of the C-E 20 line between Swarzedz and Poznan Gorczyn, and the Rail Baltica leading from Warsaw to Bialystok and the Baltic States.

Meanwhile, the biggest road investment in the history of the city of Kielce - the Zelazna Junction - has been completed for around €47.8 million. Some 85% of the cost has been financed from other EU funds. The junction provides a new connection from the South to the North and will ease the congestion in the city centre.
