Warszawa Gdańska station overhaul begins

An additional platform, additional tracks, as well as facilities for people with disabilities will be created after the Warszawa Gdańska station overhaul is completed in December 2015. The work started on July 17. The station reconstruction, valued at PLN 53 million, stipulates that as many as eight kilometers of track will be created north of the station, as well as 19 turnouts and 10 kilometers of overhead line. The project also includes the reconstruction of railway traffic control devices and the erection of the third platform. "Thanks to the overhaul, the station's capacity will increase by 50 percent," said Jarosław Tomaszewski, CEO of Trakcja PRKiL, a contractor working on the investment.
