The total amount covers 59% of the plan’s budget available for railway needs. The government implements around forty projects, including the Chabowka–Nowy Sacz line.
Authorities will spend $1.03 billion on enhancing this vital southern route in the country. Thus, the nation strengthens its transport network and boosts regional competitiveness.
Poland Builds High-Speed Lines
The largest project, CPK, creates a high-speed rail network centered at the airport. It connects regions with Czechia and spans ten key directions.
The new network’s length will reach 2000 km, with trains hitting 350 km/h speeds. Operational speed will hit 250 km/h, and this will enhance regional connectivity.
Poland will start purchasing trains for CPK in 2025 to launch the project. Authorities actively prepare for implementation and secure European funds for support.
The European Union backs the initiative via the “Next Generation EU” recovery package. Because the country aims to recover swiftly from COVID-19 pandemic effects.
Railway upgrades will improve logistics and boost passenger comfort in coming years. However, authorities also target long-term goals for sustainable transport system growth.
The CPK project will link regions and neighboring countries, including Czechia, effectively. The nation steadily advances toward building a modern, fast railway network.
Funding from EU grants and national resources speeds up ambitious plan execution. So, the country prepares for increased passenger flow and economic growth.
Upgrading lines like Chabowka–Nowy Sacz already draws attention from industry experts. And authorities expect to complete all forty projects on schedule successfully.
The railway sector gains a major boost from these infrastructure investments soon. Because $2.8 billion forms just part of the broader transport development strategy.
The new high-speed network ensures speed and convenience, elevating the country’s status. Also, train purchases in 2025 will solidify CPK project success moving forward.
