The Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways – 1361 GDDKiA –reports that 14 bids have been received for construction of three sections of the S19 dual carriageway.

A consortium formed by Pizzarotti and Fundamental Infrastructure pitched the lowest bid for the Krasnik Poludnie - Janow Lubelski Polnoc section, amounting to nearly €80 million.

The lowest offer for the construction of the second section – a ring-road around the town of Janow Lubelski – was just over €34 million and made by Mota-Engil Central Europe.

Meanwhile, 945 Strabag made the lowest offer of €42 million for the third section stretching between Janow Lubelski Poludnie and Lasy Janowskie.

The 570km Expressway S19 or express road S19 will run from the north-eastern border crossing to Belarus in Kuźnica south through the Polish towns of Białystok, Lublin and Rzeszów, to the border with Slovakia at Barwinek. At Barwinek it will connect with Slovakia’s future R4 expressway.

In February last year, the European Commission approved €150 million for construction of the S19 dual carriageway.

The road is part of TEN-T, the Trans-European Transport Networks. Tent-T is a planned set of road, rail, air and water transport networks in the European Union. A decision to adopt TEN-T was made by the European Parliament and Council in 1996.

TEN-T projects are mostly funded by national or state governments. Other funding sources include European Community funds, loans from international financial institutions such as the European Investment Bank, and private funding.
