In addition to the main route, Budimex will also build two road junctions: Olsztyn Jaroty and Olsztyn Wschód (East), and service roads, as well as renovating sections of selected local roads. The works are to be completed within 28 months from the date of signing the contract. The implementation time does not include winter periods (i.e. from mid-December to mid-March).
