The section – called Trasa Lagiewnicka, after the company that will build it, will be 3.7km long and include construction of a 1.7km tramway.

The company hopes to secure funds from the European Fund for Strategic Investments which is managed by the European Investment Bank, to cover half the project's costs estimated at around €300 million.
