Italian infrastructure company Impressa Pizzarotti has signed a deal for work on 24km of Poland’s S61 dual carriageway from Suwalki to the border with Lithuania.

The contract, with the contract with the 3519 Polish General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (1361 GDDKiA) is for around €144.6 million, according to media reports.

The S61 is part of the greater European route E 67 running from Prague in the Czech Republic to Helsinki in Finland by way of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It goes via Prague, Warsaw, Riga, Tallinn and – by ferry – Helsinki, a length of nearly 1,700km.

It is also known as the Via Baltica between Warsaw and Tallinn, a distance of 970km. Most of the route is not motorway but some sections, such as the one in Poland, are dual carriageway.
