The Polish government has secured around €345 million for construction of Krakow's 15km Northern Ring-Road. Work is expected to start in 2019 and completion is set for 2022, according to Polish media.

Meanwhile, Trasa Lagiewnicka, the company in charge of constructing a section of Krakow’s third ring road – one of four concentric ring roads, is looking to secure European Union money for the project. 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.

Completion of its first stage is set for the end of 2020.
