Infrastructure development in Poland involves various expressway projects. In October 2026, Kobylarnia submitted a bid of approximately 361.8 million PLN for the design and construction of an 11.9-kilometer section of the S17 expressway near Zamość. This project aims to create a bypass for the city by connecting the Zamość Sitaniec and Zamość Wschód junctions.

By November 2026, construction activities were reported on the S11 expressway near Kluczbork. Managed by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), the 46-kilometer project involves the Gotartów to Olesna bypass section. Current works include soil removal, reconstruction of water and power networks, and foundation work for bridge structures. These activities have necessitated the closure of a county road from the DK11 intersection toward Kujakowice Górne, with diversions through Gotartów and Biadacz. The S11 sections are expected to be completed by 2028.

In a separate development regarding the S17 expressway, GDDKiA terminated its 822.5 million PLN contract with the Turkish firm Kolin Insaat for an 18.5-kilometer section between Zamość Południe and Tomaszów Lubelski Północ. GDDKiA reported that the contractor failed to comply with obligations, with progress at only 9 percent compared to 60 percent on neighboring sections. While the deadline had been extended to the second half of 2028, GDDKiA intends to announce a new tender for a replacement contractor in the first quarter of 2027.
