An EU-funded project to construct a 48.27 km section of the S3 from Kaźmierzów to Legnica in Poland is part of an overall plan to eliminate bottlenecks along the route, improve road safety and provide new opportunities for jobs and growth in the Lower Silesia region.
plThe second phase of the modernisation of Poland’s railway line number 7 between the capital city Warsaw and Lublin, some 170 kilometres to the south east, has been launched with the assistance of European Union co-financing. It covers the section of track between Warsaw Wschodnia (East) station and the town of Otwock, and follows on from the first phase of the project which comprises upgrades to the section between Otwock and Lublin.
plDriverless container transporters operating in the port of Hamburg, Germany, at the HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder, are being run on lithium-ion batteries instead of diesel. The new batteries are recharged using green energy sources and can be used as power storage units capable of feeding energy back into the local power grid when needed. This EU-supported project is making an important contribution to Germany’s and Hamburg’s transition to cleaner energy sources and is helping improve air quality across the region.
deEU funding has contributed to the construction of a 22 km section of the S7 expressway from the municipality of Orońsko in Mazovia province, central Poland, to the border with Świętokrzyskie province to the south. The road forms part of the Trans-European Transport Network's Baltic-Adriatic corridor and also forms a section of European route E77, which runs from Kaliningrad to Budapest via Gdańsk, Warsaw and Kraków.
plThe stretch of railway line between La Malfa-Ex Ems and Carini stations – part of the rail link between the Sicilian capital Palermo and Punta Raisi airport which serves the city – is being converted from a single to a double-track railway. The second phase of the project has been launched with EU funding.
itPhase two of an EU-funded project will complete the construction of some 16.97 kilometres of double-track, non-electrified railway line in the Pomorskie region of Poland. The line aims to significantly improve passenger services in the region and help to fully integrate air and urban transport in the cities of Gdańsk and Gdynia.
plThe EU is helping to build the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) project, a cross-border scientific collaboration that will enable scientists and researchers to use new and emerging laser technologies in order to generate the most intense light pulses in the world. The ELI-ALPS project, situated in Hungary, is a crucial element of this infrastructure.
huModernisation of the railway line between Poland’s capital, Warsaw and its third largest city, Łódź is being completed with the help of EU funding. The remaining upgrades should increase maximum speeds and axle loads for trains.
plRegional railway company Koleje Małopolskie provided new comfortable trains and new routes thanks to EU funding. This has encouraged more local residents and tourists to use rail transport in Poland’s Małopolskie province.
plA rehabilitation centre fitted with the latest physiotherapy equipment has been built with EU funding in the village of Szczerców, in the Łódzkie region of central Poland. Construction of the centre, which has been operating since March 2018, was based on the so-called Passive House concept. This aims to ensure extremely low energy consumption and minimise the carbon footprint of a building. Heat and electricity are thus largely generated from renewable sources, in particular solar and geothermal energy.
