No roads ready for Euro2012?

"The Highways and Roads Authority (GDDKiA) plans to construct 960 km of highways, 2,700 express roads and modernize 3,990 km of domestic roads. This is a good, but not a feasible plan," said Wojciech Malusi, president of the National Road Construction Chamber (OIGD). The institution estimates that with current prices of construction materials in mind, one needs zł.110 billion for the project. This is in line with government estimates, however, construction companies believe that the government will only be able to raise zł.75 billion, leaving it zł.35 billion short. Even if the money is found, GDDKiA may have problems spending it, as it is lacking necessary regulations due to authorities coming up with absurd reasons to rejecting bids.
