Road plans do not include private contractor for A4
The Public Roads Management Office (GDDP) has ruled out licensing a private
contractor to complete the construction of the Wroclaw to Nogawczyce section
of the A4 highway. A number of international companies had been shortlisted
for the project, among them Ferrovial of Spain and its subsidiary Budimex, a
consortium of NCC of Sweden and Stalexport, and French company Bouygues.
Company representatives did not seem too concerned over missing out on the
contract. "The license for building the road was doubtful from the
beginning. If we have to bid it farewell, we will do so without regret,"
commented director of communications at Budimex, Waldemar Mierzwa. The GDDP,
which has already spent zl.1.85 billion on building the A4 highway, plans to
invest zl.3.6 billion in road construction nationwide this year. (Puls
