Territorial contracts are agreements between the central and regional governments in order to allow investment in key projects, such as roads. Around 90 projects worth in total US$7.63 billion will benefit from the contract. Apart from the 140km A1 motorway section, projects include rail line upgrades, Wielun and Belchatow ring roads hospital extension work.

3260 World Highways reported in February last year that Poland's General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (1361 GDDKiA) was looking to tender for the work between Pyrzowice near Katowice and Tuszyn near the city of  Lodz. The work, estimated to cost in total $2.66 billion, was going to be let in lots of around 20km.

The 568km A1, officially called Amber Highway, is a north-south motorway still under construction running through central Poland and is part of the European route E75. The A1 starts in port of Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea through to Łódź and the Upper Silesian Industry Area of Gliwice to the Polish-Czech border in Gorzyczki. At the border it connects to the Czech motorway D1.
