Skanska builds motorway in the south

The zł.154-million contract is for an extension of the Route West highway west of Katowice. The project involves building about three kilometers of a six-lane highway with seven bridges, as well as renovating the railway, water, drainage, electricity, gas and telecom networks running parallel with the stretch of the highway. The construction works are scheduled for completion in May 2008. One of Skanska's other bigger projects in Poland is the construction of 90 km of highway on the A1, south of Gdańsk. The project is being developed in a public-private partnership in which Skanska Infrastructure Development is participating as developer and investor. (WBJ Real Estate Newsletter)
