The production of Abt anti-blocking system components is planned to be completed by the end of 2024, with installation planned for the following year.

The project is estimated to cost 23.4 million euros, with the majority being covered by subsidies from the European Union and Czech national funds.

The Polish side is also undertaking work to modernize its section of the corridor, including rail replacement and railroad crossing upgrades.

Both parts of the project are planned to be completed by 2027.
