Poland railway infrastructure and connectivity development

Overview

Poland is advancing several major railway infrastructure and connectivity initiatives. The Central Communication Port (CPK) project has moved forward with the shortlisting of five companies or consortia—including Strabag-Tym-Bud, Torpol-Mirbud-Kobylarnia, Budimex-Porr-Trakcja, and Intercor-NDI-NDI Sopot—for a 14.3-kilometer segment of the Warsaw-Łódź high-speed rail line. This segment, located between the Airport Junction and Bolimów Junction, is designed for speeds up to 350 km/h, with a contract expected by the fourth quarter of 2027.

Strategic planning by the Ministry of Infrastructure targets long-term connectivity for 2031 and 2034, specifically aiming to link major cities like Warsaw, Wrocław, and Kraków to the Bieszczady Mountains, Lublin, and the Baltic coast. Under the Integrated Railway Network (ZSK) plan, travel times between Rzeszów and Warsaw are projected to decrease to two hours. Regional efforts include restoring rail services to Jastrzębie-Zdrój, which has lacked access since 2001; PKP PLK has launched a 270 million PLN tender to rebuild connections to the Silesian agglomeration, with completion targeted for 2030.

Physical upgrades are also underway, including the renovation of a railway tunnel in Unisław Śląski to accommodate higher speeds and electrification. In Warsaw, a nearly 3 billion PLN investment will modernize the Warsaw East Station and construct a tunnel to connect the Praga-North and Praga-South districts. Additionally, PKP has initiated a tender to renovate the historic Braniewo station.

Infrastructure Minister Dariusz Klimczak recently noted a resurgence in rail travel, with passenger numbers reaching their highest levels in 30 years. To support this, PKP PLK aims to invest over 180 billion PLN in infrastructure by 2032.
