Poland cutting roads budget for 2018

The Polish Government intends to lower its road development budget for 2018. The country intends to spend close to €875 million on upgrades to the national road network, a drop of €110.83 million from 2017. This budget reduction marks a notable change as the Polish Government has (until now) been steadily increasing spending on road development over successive years from 2010. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Development is requesting that the Ministry of Finance should increase the budget however.
