Poland is carrying out an extensive programme of infrastructure development, covering both rail and road transport. The ongoing investments aim to improve connectivity, safety, and efficiency across the country, while supporting regional development and economic growth.
Large-Scale Rail Modernisation
Poland is currently modernising and constructing approximately 9,000 kilometres of railway lines. To date, more than 7,700 kilometres of tracks have already been modernised, including 6,800 kilometres of main and core railway lines.
The completed works include modernisation, revitalisation, or construction of:
2,412 rail–road crossings,
669 railway and road viaducts,
738 bridges,
1,226 railway platforms.
These investments significantly enhance the safety, capacity, and comfort of rail transport for both passengers and freight.
The 100 Bypasses Programme
At the same time, Poland is implementing the ambitious 100 Bypasses Programme, designed to reduce traffic congestion in towns and cities, improve road safety, and divert transit traffic away from residential areas. Flagship projects under the programme include the strategic corridors Via Baltica and Via Carpatia.
Within the framework of the programme, construction of the Smolajny bypass on National Road No. 51 in the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship has been completed. The bypass is 1.75 km long. Additionally, the main carriageway of the Brzezie bypass on National Road No. 25 in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, with a length of 8.53 km, has been opened to traffic.
Currently, 16 bypass projects are under construction, 1 project is in the tendering phase, and 81 bypasses are in preparation.
Strategic Transport Corridors: Via Baltica and Via Carpatia
Via Baltica is a key north–south transport corridor connecting Poland with the Baltic States. The total length of the route in Poland is 298.7 km, of which 243.4 km have already been completed, while 55.3 km remain under construction.
Via Carpatia, another strategic international corridor, will ultimately span 711.3 km within Poland. So far, 259.6 km have been completed, 280.8 km are under construction, 11.7 km are in the tendering phase, and 159.2 km are currently in preparation.
Project Status
All initiatives are ongoing, forming part of Poland’s long-term strategy to modernise transport infrastructure, strengthen regional cohesion, and improve the country’s position as a key transit hub in Central and Eastern Europe.
