Treasury plans to take road contract away from GTC

The company estimates that 1 kilometer will cost EUR7.4 milion, whereas Polaczek promises to lower the price by 30% if the section is built by the state. The government will have to pay EUR10 million damages to GTC if they follow the suggestion, but they still claim that they will make a saving on the decision. GTC disagrees with the claims that the state can build the section more cheaply. According to Aleksander Kozłowski, the chairman of the GTC supervisory board, the section itself will cost about EUR5.5 milion per 1 kilometer but there are a few bridges to be built, the cost of which totals roughly EUR130 million. He also pointed out that a state financed A2 section Konin - Stryków was originally estimated at EUR300 milion, while the cost has already reached EUR450 milion due to annexes and delays.
