The contract, with the contract with the 3519 Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (1361 GDDKiA) is for around €144.6 million, according to media reports.

It is also known as the Via Baltica between Warsaw and Tallinn, a distance of 970km. Most of the route is not motorway but some sections, such as the one in Poland, are dual carriageway.
