A series of major road projects is now getting underway in Poland, while tenders for new projects are also opening. Estimates suggest that the construction of six new ring-roads in the Opolszczyzna region will cost some €356 million. These ring roads all form part of the 2014-2023 National Road Construction Programme. The first projects to be carried out will be for the ring-roads around Mysliny and Niemodlina. In all, the National Road Construction Programme will include the building of 57 ring-roads.

A key part of Poland’s 2014-2023 National Road Construction Programme is the scheduled work to construct a 33km section of the S19 dual carriageway. The tender process for the S19 has been announced by the Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (1361 GDDKiA). The 33km stretch of the S19 will run from Krasnik to the Lasy Janowskie junction. The tender is being split into three sections, of 18km, 8km and 7km. The plans call for the S19 dual carriageway to be built in the Podlasie voivodeship by 2025, with the construction work due to begin in 2018.

Meanwhile Contractor 3164 Energopol Szczecin won the tender to build a ring-road around the town of Walcz. This section will also form part of the S10 dual carriageway. The company made a winning bid of €102.14 million for the project, the lowest of the 10 bids made during the tender process.
