Gdynia to cover quarter of strategic motorway costs

The Infrastructure Ministry intends to earmark euro 45 million from the EU's "Transport and Maritime Economy" program for the completion of the Kwiatkowski Motorway linking the Gdynia Shipyard with the future A1 motorway, announced Infrastructure Minister Marek Szymonski. The value of the entire investment is estimated at euro 60 million. "It is going to be a priority investment not only for economic but also for strategic reasons. After all, the navy harbor and the Polish Navy are located here," stressed Gdynia Mayor Wojciech Szczurek. The city will cover one quarter of the investment - or euro 15 million - and will also bear the investment preparation costs, including the purchase of land. (www.onet.pl) A.Z.
