EU allocates €880 mln for modernization of Polish railways

The European Commission approved two major projects related to the modernization of the Polish rail network and increasing its transport efficiency and safety. The financing from the EU will amount to about €880 million. Nearly €838 million will be allocated to the modernization of the 214.5 km long southern section of the railway line No. 131, which connects Chorzów Batory station with Zduńska Wola Karsznice station. The remaining funds will be used to partially finance the purchase of over 930 rail railway platforms for container transportation. 

Both projects are scheduled to start in January 2023.
