The subsidy constitutes 50% of the overall investment cost, which amounts to around 1.1 billion zlotys. Minister of Infrastructure Dariusz Klimczak emphasized the significance of this support for Polish infrastructure, especially in the context of cross-border projects.

The funded projects include the modernization of the Skernewice–Lukow railway line and the construction of a new railway bridge over the Vistula River in Gora Kalwaria.

The modernization aims to improve track conditions, increase capacity, and enhance passenger comfort and safety.

Advanced railway traffic management systems will be implemented to improve train operation efficiency and punctuality.

Another major project involves building a new railway bridge in Gora Kalwaria to replace the existing single-track bridge.

The new structure, with two tracks, will significantly boost railway capacity and reliability across the Vistula River, facilitating transportation between the eastern and western parts of the country and contributing to local economic development.

These investments mark a crucial step towards modernizing Polish railways, improving service quality, strengthening domestic connections, and fostering ties with other EU countries.

Additionally, co-financing includes the construction of a section of the S12 expressway, an intermodal terminal in Gdynia, and a multimodal railway hub in Szczecin, further enhancing domestic communication and facilitating the exchange of goods and passengers between Poland and other EU nations.
