The Polish government said that it will complete the final 80km section of the A1 motorway at a cost of around €830 million.

Money will come out of the National Road fund (KFD), according to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Construction.

The missing section stretches from Tuszyn to Czestochowa and the government will choose contractors in September 2017. Completion is set for 2020.

Earlier this year, 945 Strabag was awarded a contract to build a further section of the A1 motorway, around 16.7km between the Zawodzie Junction and Woźniki Junction.

The €108 million project is expected to be opened to traffic in the second half of 2019. The section of motorway is part of the A1 running from Gdansk in the north to the Czech border. It forms part of European Route 75. In addition to the concrete roadway, Strabag will also build the Woźniki Junction as well as bridges and several adjoining local roads.
