A Polish parliamentary commission has heard that €11.14 billion of road investment within the 2014-23 programme of upgrades has yet to be tendered.


This past summer, the government announced that a bridge on the San River near Jarosław will be the first of 22 to be constructed under the Polish government’s Bridges for Regions programme.

Central government will fund around 80% or the programme that is expected to cost about €534 million, said Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister.

The rest will be contributed by local governments, with some of the money coming from a local roads fund to be set up in the autumn. The fund will also provide financing for the modernisation of existing bridge crossings, said Andrzej Adamczyk, minister of infrastructure.

The bridges will span the rivers Vistula, Oder, Bug, Narew, Pilica and Warta.

The San River crossing will cost nearly €28 million and should be completed by 2022, said Adamczyk. Jarosław is in southeast Poland and has around 40,000 population.
