The European Commission has approved an investment of more than €136 million from the Cohesion Fund for the construction of a 29.67 km section of the S19 express road which is connecting Lublin and Rzeszów in Poland.
- 16 February 2023
The new road allows for safer travelling and shortens journey times between major Polish cities. The construction of the road section is linked to other investments that are key elements of regional, interregional, and international transport networks.
Footpaths, cycle paths, emergency passages and bus lay-bys were built or rebuilt. Noise and safety barriers, anti-glare shields and fences were installed, together with a traffic management system. Culverts, passages for animals and other environmental protection devices were constructed, and greenery was planted at the roadside.
The project thus contributes to the creation of a cohesive, high-capacity road system connecting major regional centres with the TEN-T network and, via express roads, with Warsaw.
