Construction group 3861 Strabag, via its Polish subsidiaries, has been awarded two contracts totalling US$117 million by Poland’s General Directorate for National Roads and Highways (7570 GDDKiA).

As part of the overall works on the S17, Strabag will design and build a 15.2 km long section from the Lubelska junction near Warsaw to Kołbiel, including four junctions, while the second contract comprises the design and construction of an 8.7 km long bypass road near Kołbiel.

The S17, which forms part of the E372, will link the city of Garwolin with Warsaw and will help to reduce the travel time to the Polish capital and lower the volume of traffic in the surrounding communities. The construction works, which will last until 2019, will include not only the two-to-three-lane cement highway but also rest areas, wildlife crossings and drainage water treatment systems as well as accompanying footpaths and cycle trails.
