Poland continues extensive transport upgrades across road, rail, and cycling sectors. While the Central Communication Port (CPK) remains a major focus, the government has reallocated up to 1.8 billion PLN of EU funds from CPK and the Łódź tunnel to the Pomorskie Metropolitan Railway (PKM Południe). Political tension has emerged regarding CPK, with Przemysław Czarnek criticizing the government for allegedly reducing passenger capacity from 45 to 34 million and shrinking the railway component from 1,800 km to 480 km.

Recent developments show CPK progress is currently awaiting official approval from the Masovian Voivode for passenger terminal foundation construction. While Budimex has completed trial piling for a contract worth approximately 146 million PLN, formal permits and environmental reviews remain pending. Additionally, plans in Obice have shifted from an airport toward a railway freight terminal and investment zones, supported by letters of intent involving the Mayor of Kielce and the Industrial Development Agency (ARP).

Road infrastructure expansion continues with the full opening of the S1 expressway between Bieruń and Oświęcim, alongside reconstruction efforts on the DK75 near Nowy Sącz and maintenance on the A1 motorway. In rail, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe is modernizing the Malbork-Elbląg line. To improve investment efficiency, the Ministry of Infrastructure is collaborating with the Center for EU Transport Projects (CUPT) to implement multi-criteria analyses for high-capacity public transport, including metro networks, across 12 major agglomerations.

Other notable updates include a planned 20 million PLN air traffic control tower at Lublin Airport, expected by 2028, and the ‘Kolej na Bus’ service by Koleje Wielkopolskie.
