Railway contract for Budimex


Budimex, in a consortium with ZUE SA and companies from the Strabag Group, will execute, under the order of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe SA, design and construction works on the ring road in Warsaw. The agreement with the investor was signed today.

 

The consortium will modernise the Warszawa Zachodnia–Warszawa Gdańska section as well as the Warszawa Gołąbki–Warszawa Gdańska section. The track system will be reconstructed without changing the number of tracks and the track surface will be replaced. Such works will also be carried out on four railway flyovers above Kasprzaka, Wolska, Górczewska and Obozowa streets. A modern Local Steering Centre will be established at the Warsaw Main Freight station. It will make traffic management more efficient in the western part of the city.

 

Passengers will be likely glad to hear that Warszawa Kasprzaka (new name: Warszawa Wola) and Warszawa Koło (new name: Warszawa Młynów) stops as well as platform No 8 at the Warszawa Zachodnia* station will be retrofitted. The platforms will be equipped with new shelters, functional lighting, benches, loudspeakers and information boards. The stops will be adapted to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Communication will be facilitated, among others, by lifts. Plans also include construction of two new stations: Warszawa Powązki and Warszawa Obozowa on the same line. 

 

The project also includes renovation of footbridges for pedestrians above Górczewska Street and construction of two new passages above Prądzyńskiego Street.

 

The works will take 26 months, i.e. until mid-2019, and their value amounts to PLN 159.7 million net. Budimex is the leader of the consortium with a share of 34%.
