On 24 November, the construction of the Tri-City Metropolitan Bypass was inaugurated. Budimex is starting earthworks on the main line of the new route. Previously, the company carried out logging, archaeological, geodetic and preparatory works. The general contractor will complete the contract worth over PLN 581 million net within 38 months of signing the contract, excluding winter periods, i.e. by March 2025.
The construction of the OMT was divided into two parts. The first task carried out by Budimex is the 16.3 km long section of the Chwaszczyno junction (without the junction) – the Żukowo junction (without the junction). By 2025, a dual carriageway expressway will be built, with two lanes in each direction and with a reserve for the third lane, the “Miszewo” and “Chwaszczyno” road junctions, the Miszewo road circuit, as well as m.in. 25 engineering structures. The contract is being implemented by Budimex in the “Design and Build” formula.
Budimex has signed a contract with the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, Gdańsk Branch , for the construction of another section of the S6 expressway as part of the project entitled: “Construction of the Tri-City Metropolitan Bypass” in April 2021. The contract, worth over PLN 581 million net, will be completed by the general contractor within 38 months from signing the contract, excluding winter periods, i.e. by March 2025. The contract was signed on the S6 Luzino-Szemud section implemented by Budimex, which is a continuation of the planned Tri-City Metropolitan Bypass. As part of the investment, Budimex will be responsible for the implementation of approx. 16.3 km of the Tri-City Metropolitan Bypass, which is part of the S6 expressway.
– I would like to thank the contractors for their efforts, over 20 engineering structures. The bypass is being built by two contractors who guarantee good and timely implementation of this investment. I wish Polish engineers on this construction site good and safe work – says Andrzej Adamczyk, Minister of Infrastructure.
Ultimately, the OMT will be about 39 km long and will enable efficient passage from the A1 and S7 motorways to the west and north of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, leading transit traffic to further sections of the S6 route towards Lębork, Słupsk and Koszalin. The bypass under construction will also be of strategic importance for transport within Żukowo and Chwaszczyna and will relieve traffic on the existing S6 expressway of the Tri-City Bypass.
– The implementation of the contract includes 3 million m3 in the field of earthworks with the use of 26 engineering structures, 6.5 thousand tons of steel, 45 thousand m3 of concrete and 280 thousand tons of wearing surface. We perform these works using our own equipment, m.in. reconstruction of underground collisions, which we have just started. 20 hardware units started working today – sums up Przemysław Czaja, Contract Director at Budimex SA.
OMT is another infrastructure investment in Budimex’s portfolio. Currently, the company is implementing m.in. construction of the S61 expressway (on the sections: Suwałki – Budzisko with the Szypliszki bypass, Stawiski-Szczuczyn, Wysokie – Raczki) and the S19 expressway on the section from the Białystok Zachód junction (without the junction) to the Białystok Księżyno junction, S11 on the section Koszalin – Zegrze Pomorskie, S5 Ornowo – Wirwajdy in the province of Szczecin. Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, or S1 in Małopolska.
