Development of transport infrastructure in Poland: Bilfinger Berger to build part of the Warsaw ring road valued at €200 million

A consortium managed by Bilfinger Berger has been awarded the contract to build a 12.6-kilometer section of the new ring road around Warsaw, the Polish capital. The section will connect the city’s international airport with the A2 highway; it will have three lanes in each direction and will entail the construction of 15 bridges and 18 kilometers of noise barriers. The project has a total volume of €200 million and Bilfinger Berger’ share amounts to €135 million. The new highway section is scheduled to go into operation in May 2012, before the start of EURO 2012, the European soccer championship.

In late 2009, Bilfinger Berger was commissioned to construct the 9-kilometer southern section of the ring road around Danzig as well as an 11-kilometer highway section near Bialystok on Poland’s eastern border. Public-sector investment in the development of Polish transport infrastructure is receiving enormous support from the European Union’s structural fund. By 2013, the country will have received transfer payments of more than €60 billion.
