🚄 Polish Railways signed a contract today for the modernization of the Warsaw East station worth over 3.6 billion zlotys. Work will begin this December and will cover not only the station’s infrastructure, but… pic.twitter.com/DdZYhoeuA6
“The modernization will cover all platforms. Finally, escalators will be installed—there will be seven pairs. There will be 14 elevators. We will also rebuild over 46 kilometers of tracks and 50 kilometers of overhead contact lines. We will also reconstruct the tunnel and build a pedestrian underpass.”
However, the renovation work will cause some inconvenience. During the work, some long-distance trains will be rerouted to the Warszawa Gdańska station. Other trains will begin or end their routes at other stations in Warsaw.
The work will cost 3.6 billion zlotys. The station’s modernization is scheduled to be completed in 2029.
