 A consortium of 3861 Strabag and Budimex has signed a US$1.64 million contract to build a 41 kilometre section of the A4 motorway from Rzeszów to Jarosław in south-eastern Poland.

The contract includes the construction of the 41 kilometre roadway as well as three motorway interchanges, 78 bridge structures and 20 wildlife crossings.

Work will begin following handover of the construction site in early October. The motorway is scheduled for completion and should be opened to traffic in the first half of 2016.

Thomas Birtel, CEO of Strabag, is pleased the company has landed another contract in Poland in a short time, saying: “Thanks to our know-how and our many references, we are benefiting from the emergent investment environment in the Polish infrastructure sector.”
