Construction contracts signed for two sections of the A1 motorway in Lodzkie voivodship

2010-07-20

On 9 July this year contracts were inked with contractors that will be responsible for building two stretches of the A1 motorway: Kowal-Sojki and Kotliska-Piatek. The total cost of the investment will exceed PLN 1.3bn (€319.4m). The deadline for completing the projects is the end of April 2012. The Kowal-Sojki and Kotliska-Piatek fragments will "round off" the 144-kilometre section of the A1 motorway between Torun and the Strykow junction near Lodz. The first fragment will be 30 km in length and require expenditure of over PLN 800m (€196.5m). The task of completing this section has been assigned to a consortium comprising three Irish firms: SRB Civil Engineering, John Sisk & Son and Roadbridge, as well as the Polish company Budbam. Meanwhile, the 9-kilometre fragment from Kotliska to Piatek, set to cost in excess of PLN 512m (€125.8m), will be the responsibility of a consortium formed by the Polish enterprise Sando Budownictwo Polska and the Spanish company Construcciones Sanchez Dominguez-Sando. Contracts have so far been concluded for 1,511 km of motorway and express road (including 702 km of motorway), all of which should be in place prior to Euro 2012.
