25 April 2013
Polish rail operator PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe is to modernise the Koluszki-Czestochowa section of railway line No. 1. The work will be carried out by a consortium of companies including Pol-Aqua, Dragados, Vias y Construcciones and Electren, at a cost of PLN483.3 million (€117.7 million).
The project will involve replacing track along a section of more than 158km long, changing 83km of overhead contact lines and revamping 30 bridges, 15 culverts, five viaducts and a retaining wall.
In addition, 43 platforms and 24 level crossings will be renovated, and 142 crossovers will be changed. The work will take two years to complete.
The investment will reduce travelling time along the Koluszki-Czestochowa section by almost 30 minutes.
Pol-Aqua, the consortium leader, will only have a 1% share of the project. Earlier the company announced that its share would be in the region of 25-30%.
