Ring road to circle Warsaw by 2012?

The General Direction of Domestic Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) has come to an agreement with the Ministry of Transport and the acting Mayor of Warsaw on to the details of the investment, which will be financed by the state budget and EU subsidies. The southern section of the ring road is expected to be completed by 2009 at a cost of zł.2.34billion, while 2008 should see the completion of the next section of A2 motorway Stryków-Warsaw North, worth zł.1.3billion. After this, the road will be built across Warsaw to its eastern outskirts, at a cost of over zł.1billion, with completion expected between 2008 -10, and finally the eastern part will meet the southern edge in 2008-2012, consuming the final zł.2billion.
