On 19 August 2022, two months before the contract deadline, Budimex commissioned the Smolajny bypass along national road No . 51. The contract for this task with the Olsztyn branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways was signed on December 17, 2020, and the works began in April 2021. This is the first completed bypass as part of the government’s Program for the construction of 100 bypasses for 2020-2030.
The investment consisted in the expansion of the road in the existing and partly in the new track. The value of the contract for a section of the road with a total length of 1.76 km was PLN 26 million, and the cost of the investment after indexation is over PLN 30 million. – Thanks to the new infrastructure, safety, comfort and smoothness of driving will be significantly improved. In addition, the length of the journey will be shortened – says Cezary Łysenko, Director of Infrastructure Construction at Budimex. – Budimex is implementing 5 more investments as part of the 100 Ring Road Programme – adds Cezary Łysenko
The task included:
– 1.75 km of the national road DK51 with a roundabout, GP class;
– 0.16 km of class Z county road;
– 0.72 km of access roads;
– pedestrian and bicycle path;
– 378 linear meters of road culverts;
– reconstruction of 3 LV and MV power collisions;
– reconstruction of 2 water supply collisions;
– reconstruction of the telecommunications line;
along with the construction of the accompanying technical infrastructure, i.e. road lighting, service ducts and rainwater drainage.
– Despite difficult soil and water conditions and rising prices of key construction materials, we maintained a high pace of work and were able to complete the investment ahead of schedule – says Cezary Łysenko. – Very good cooperation with the investor, i.e. the Olsztyn branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, also helped us in this achievement – adds Budimex’s Director of Infrastructure Construction.
The implementation of the task also included the construction of environmental protection devices and the planting of over 1000 trees and shrubs.
Budimex has extensive experience in the construction of infrastructure investments. Currently, the general contractor is carrying out m.in. 5 more bypasses from the government’s Program for the construction of 100 bypasses for 2020-2030.
