Przedsiebiorstwo Uslug Technicznych Intercor has been awarded a contract to build the second section of the S3 dual carriageway.

The 11.6km section will stretch from Przeszkody to Paszkow and cost around €106 million (nearly US$116 million).

The S3 will run from Świnoujście on the Baltic Sea through Szczecin, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Zielona Góra and Legnica to the border with the Czech Republic, where it will connect to the D11 motorway.

The total planned length is 470 km, of which 240km is open to traffic, although some stretches are single carriageway.

Motorway A3 was planned to be built along this route before, but the decision was made to build a lower standard so-called express road because traffic was too low to justify an autostrada.

Most express roads in Poland which are built by upgrading existing roads. But some of the S3 is being built on a new alignment away from the parallel DK3 road it is to replace.
