June 14, 2017 Dariusz Blocher, President of the Management Board of Budimex SA, signed a contract with the Municipal Roads Authority for the reconstruction of national road No. 12. The contract is to be implemented in the plan and build mode. The investment will contribute to the improvement of road infrastructure, which has a direct impact on the improvement of road safety.
The implementation of the project includes the reconstruction of national road No. 12 within the city limits of Chełm with a length of approx. 8.2 km with reconstruction and construction of the necessary accompanying infrastructure. The beginning and end of the reconstructed road section is located at the connections of the urban section of the road within the administrative borders of the city of Chełm with the sections managed by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.
Budimex will not only rebuild the national “twelve”, but will also be responsible for preparing the technical design. The works will include a comprehensive reconstruction of Rejowiecka Street, Al. Friendship, Brest and Eastern Ramp. The investment program also includes the reconstruction of the bridge over the Uherka River, the reconstruction of the viaduct over the former railway siding in the line of al. Przyjaźni, the construction of a new viaduct over the railway tracks and the construction of bus stops, noise barriers and over 8 km of bicycle paths. The design work itself will take up to a year and a half, and the works will be completed in 2020.
The contract value amounts to PLN 96.33 million net.
The Chełm project will be co-financed from EU funds as part of a competition announced by the Centre for EU Transport Projects. The main idea is to increase the transport accessibility of urban centres located in the Trans-European Road Network (TEN-T). Chełm will receive PLN 170 million of EU support for the renovation of its section of the “twelve”.
