1361 GDDKiA, the Polish motorways and roads authority, is reported to be already advertising tenders for over 700kms of new motorways and dual carriageways.

More than €17.81 billion (PLN 74 billion) was spent building Polish roads from 2007-2013, with €11.04 billion (PLN 46 billion) of that amount coming from the 3287 EU.

Priority over the next six years of Polish roads development will be given to preventing traffic jams in cities and bypasses.
