Eurovia wins two contracts to design and build motorways
in Poland
Eurovia has won two contracts to design and build two motorways, worth a total of €120 million. The client, the Polish National Roads and Motorways Department, has decided to award these contracts to a single partner capable of providing an integrated service, and in particular making use of its network of quarries.
The S3 Motorway
This contract relates to a 19.73 km section of dual carriageway and 12 civil engineering structures (viaducts and a bridge) on the S3 motorway south of the city of Legnica, near the border with the Czech Republic. This road forms part of the international E65 road in the trans-European corridor, and serves the whole of western Poland as well as a number of large cities in the country (Szczecin, Gorzów Wielkopolski, Zielona Góra and Legnica). The works will start in April 2016 and are expected to last 30 months (excluding winter periods).
The Szczecinek Bypass
This contract relates to the building of the bypass for the city of Szczecinek (population 40,000) in Western Pomerania in the north-west of Poland. This busy stretch of dual carriageway is located on the route of the S11 motorway that will eventually link the north of the country at Koszalin with the urban area of Katowice (in the south of the country). The works are expected to last 34 months (excluding winter periods).
