PLN 107 billion to be spent on Polish roads

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz informed that between 2014 and 2023 around PLN 107 billion are planned to be spent on building roads in Poland. The Polish freeway network will be enlarged by as much as 3,900 km. The aim is to connect large cities with each other and thus decrease the traveling time by at least 15 percent. Kopacz emphasized the development of Polish roads introduced by her party, the Civic Platform (PO). She reminded that in 2007 there were only 993 km of freeways in Poland, whereas now there are 3,041 km. "Apart from a lot of ring roads in Opole, also very important is the S11 highway, which will connect the town of Kępno with the A1 expressway. A crucial information is that in the scope of the S7 we will connect the north with the south, this means Gdańsk and Kraków. We will also link Szczecin and Gdańsk with the S6; Warsaw with Lublin and Rzeszów will be  connected by the roads S17 and S19," the Prime Minister announced.
