Budimex has completed the construction and commissioned a section of provincial road No. 714 – an extension of the Upper Route, connecting Łódź with the A1 motorway in the Brójce commune. The value of the extension of 2.3 km of the former county road is over PLN 30 million.
The contract for the construction of provincial road No. 714 in the wake of the former county road No. 1164E was signed by Budimex in December 2021. The investor of this part of the task was the Marshal’s Office of the Łódź Voivodeship. The section was completed according to schedule.
– The completion of this task is great news for the inhabitants of the region, as well as for the residents of Łódź. This section is of particular importance, because it connects the capital of the voivodeship and the A1 motorway. Its implementation will make life much easier for drivers – says Grzegorz Schreiber, Marshal of the Łódź Voivodeship.
As part of the project, the roadway was widened to 7 meters and 5 intersections were expanded. In addition, over 2 km of bicycle path with pedestrian traffic allowed, 1 km of independent sidewalks and pavements led directly next to the road, 2 passages for amphibians under the crown of the road, as well as a new bridge over the Ner River were built. In addition, 6 bus bays, 2.1 km of rainwater drainage, 1.3 km of road ditches, 91 lighting poles and 10 pedestrian crossings with facilities for people with disabilities were built.
– Thanks to this investment, the commissioned section of the provincial road No. 714 is ready for increased vehicle traffic, which will take place after the completion of the Upper Route in its entirety, as traffic from Łódź towards the A1 motorway will be directed through it. As part of the contract, we also built new infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists and improved visibility on this section. In addition, the new bridge over the Ner River will significantly affect safety in the area – says Dariusz Demianiuk, Regional Director of the Infrastructure Construction Division at Budimex.
Budimex has extensive experience in the construction of infrastructure investments. The general contractor is carrying out m.in. 5 bypasses from the government’s Program for the construction of 100 bypasses for 2020-2030. The first of them, the Wałbrzych bypass, was completed last year. In 2022, m.in were also put into service. a section of the S5 Ornowo – Wirwajdy expressway and the S6 expressway on the section Luzino (without the junction) – Szemud (with the junction), i.e. part of the Kashubian Route.
