3302 Budimex has reportedly made the lowest offer in both contract contests.

Polish media also reported that €530 million from the European Union’s Cohesion Fund will be invested in northern Poland’s roads.

The second project, worth around €68 million involves renovating the section between Wyszków and Bialystok on the E67 part of the EN-T North Baltic Sea corridor, which connects the west to the north east of Europe.
