STRABAG signs € 130 million deal to construct S7 section “Trasa Nowohucka” in Kraków
Works include construction of roads and bridges
Construction time: 36 months
Vienna/Warsaw, 24 July 2014----On 22 July 2014, a consortium comprising STRABAG Sp. z o.o. and Heilit+Woerner Sp. z o.o, two subsidiaries of Austrian listed company STRABAG SE, has signed a contract for the construction of a stretch of the planned S7 expressway in the east of Kraków, called “Trasa Nowohucka”, which will run between Rybitwy and Igołomska.
The construction site is scheduled to be handed over in August, and constructions are planned to start in August/September 2014. Under the contract, which is worth PLN 529 million (around € 130 million), the consortium agreed to perform the following tasks: construction and renovation of the traffic infrastructure with a total length of 18.6 km, including the 4.5 km long expressway with two carriageways consisting of three lanes each; the national road 79 with a length of 1.6 km; the construction of on- and off-ramps as well as six flyovers and five bridges. Furthermore, the tram lines will be modernised.
The new section “Trasa Nowohucka” will traverse two districts of Kraków – Podgórze and Nowa Huta – and will form part of the expressway that is planned to link Gdańsk in the north and Rabka-Zdrój in the south of Poland. In three years’ time, the new section is intended to absorb traffic from national road 79 and funnel it to the A4 motorway between Katowice and Rzeszów.
