New road investment projects in municipalities and districts co-funded by the GRCF

In 2022, financial support from the Government Road Construction Fund will be allocated for, among other things, municipal and district roads. The maximum value of funding for a single project will amount to as much as 80% of the cost of its implementation – up to PLN 30 million. In reality, this means that nearly 100 investments in each voivodeship will be co-financed.

"We want to rebuild and modernise the entire road system in Poland to make centres of districts and municipalities easily accessible," emphasised Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. "Our credibility and the feasibility of our announcements constitute very important features of our road and communication policy," he added. Communication and roads are the basis for establishing new companies and jobs, as well as attracting new business.

The total value of GRCF funds allocated for the construction, reconstruction or renovation of district and municipal roads in 2022 amounts to PLN 2.73 billion.

With the Fund’s support, over 3.8 thousand km of roads will be built or modernised, including more than:

• 1.95 thousand km of district roads,

• 1.85 thousand km of municipal roads.

 

This represents nearly 2,328 tasks, including 630 district tasks and as many as 1,698 municipal ones.

"We will develop our roads programme. Just as we fixed the tax system, we will also fix the road system we inherited. You can see how the Polish roads are changing. They will continue to improve," concluded the head of government.

Over PLN 10 billion from the GRCF for the construction of 14 thousand km of roads across Poland

Between 2019 and 2021, nearly 14 thousand km of local self-government roads were built, extended or modernised thanks to more than PLN 10 billion funds from the GRCF.

In 2021 alone, funds were allocated to implement 2,189 tasks, including:

• • 622 district projects,
  • 1,567 municipal projects.

This means the construction, reconstruction or renovation of 3.9 thousand km of roads worth over PLN 2.7 billion, including:

• • 2.1 thousand km of district roads,
  • 1.8 thousand km of municipal roads.

The GRCF support is not limited to local roads only. In 2021, 45 voivodeship investment projects and 6 additional ones, submitted by mayors of cities with district rights, were co-financed. The total value of subsidised tasks exceeded PLN 4.5 billion.

The call for applications for the co-funding of bridge construction tasks is open until the end of March 2022.

National Road Construction Programme

Despite difficulties related to the pandemic, in 2021, 37 road sections with a total length of 425 km were opened across the country.

These investments have already provided drivers with 4,624.9 km of express roads, including:

• • 1,753.6 km of motorways,
  • 2,871.3 km of expressways.

The national investment projects to be implemented in 2022 will allow closing and completing other important road routes and connections with 345 km of new national roads, including:

• • approx. 46 km of motorways,
  • 253 km of expressways,
  • 46 km of other national roads.

These projects involve the construction of the last section of the A1 motorway (Piotrków Trybunalski-Kamieńsk) that will allow covering the route from the vicinity of Gdańsk to the border with the Czech Republic in about five hours, including a rest break. In addition, plans have been made to submit further permit applications for the construction of 49 sections of national roads with a total length of over 540 km.
