Poland’s General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (1361 GDDKiA) is planning to spend US$151.37 million (€118.3 million) on winter-specific road maintenance for 2014/15.
Around 2,300 snowploughs and 1,300 salt trucks will be readied for winter work. GDDKiA also plans to install more than 1,400km snow-protection screens along roads.
Meanwhile, the country is moving ahead with several key highway projects, one involving construction of three sections of the new southern ring road around the Polish capital Warsaw. Building the 18.5km that comprises the three sections is expected to cost nearly $2.03 billion (€1.6 billion).
Also planned is construction of three sections of the S6 express road totalling just over 54km from Goleniow near Szczecin to Koszalin. GDDKiA expects that each section will take up to 37 months to complete. The entire project will cost an estimated $909 million (€718.4 million).
Other planned works are for the $216.5 million (€171 million) Rzeszow to Jaroslaw section of the A4 highway and the $130.4 million (€103 million) S8 dual carriageway between Warsaw and Bialystok.
