On Tuesday, April 20 this year. a contract was signed between the investor \u2013 the Maritime Office in Gdynia and the contractor \u2013 Budimex S.A. for the performance of construction works under the project entitled. \u201cConstruction of a waterway connecting the Vistula Lagoon with the Gulf of Gda\u0144sk \u2013 part II\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cToday we are signing another important contract that will allow us to continue work on the waterway connecting the Gulf of Gda\u0144sk with the Vistula Lagoon and in Elbl\u0105g. This investment is extremely important for the future of Polish,\u201d said Minister of Infrastructure Andrzej Adamczyk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The scope of work under the contract includes the reconstruction of the existing fairway on the Elbl\u0105g River in terms of bank support, which will ultimately take over the flood protection functions of the earth embankments, the construction of low marinas to facilitate access to the river and the construction of a swing bridge over the Elbl\u0105g River in Nowakowo, along with changes to the road system.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Spit ditch will create an opportunity for economic development for all ports of the Vistula Lagoon, and will also significantly shorten the current route through the Pi\u0142awa Strait by almost one hundred kilometers. Thanks to the agreement signed today, the Elbl\u0105g River fairway will be modernized and a swing bridge will be built in Nowakowo,\u201d said Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Marek Gr\u00f3barczyk. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

The gross value of the contract is PLN 574,073,648.82\u00a0\u00a0, and the time provided for its implementation is 24 months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signing of the contract for the second part of the investment is another milestone in the implementation of the programme for the construction of a new waterway connecting the Vistula Lagoon with the Gulf of Gda\u0144sk. For the Maritime Office in Gdynia, this is a particularly joyful moment when we can inaugurate another construction of infrastructure providing access to Polish ports \u2013 in this case to the port of Elbl\u0105g. At the moment, the role of maritime transport and ports as transshipment centers is particularly important and crucial in maintaining the continuity of the supply chain. Each new shipping route contributes to the increase in efficiency, competitiveness and building the logistical advantage of the Polish economy,\u201d said Capt. Wies\u0142aw Piotrzkowski, Director of the Maritime Office in Gdynia. <\/strong> <\/p>\n

The contract on the part of Budimex S.A.<\/strong> will be signed by President Dariusz Blocher<\/strong>, who stated that:<\/p>\n

\u2013 Hydrotechnical investments, such as the second stage of the construction of the sea route to the port of Elbl\u0105g, are necessary in Poland. River regulation, improving the navigability of waterways and water retention are a normal part of the investment landscape in the European Union. Budimex has extensive experience in the implementation of such construction projects. In 2020, we successfully completed the construction of the largest flood control reservoir for the upper Oder River in Racib\u00f3rz.\u00a0 We are currently implementing hydrotechnical contracts on the Oder, in the seaports of Gda\u0144sk and the \u017belazny Most reservoir for KGHM near Lubin. The works will strengthen the river\u2019s quay, provide additional flood protection and enable ships to moor on the Elbl\u0105g River. All work will be carried out with respect for environmental requirements and local communities. Eighty percent of the neighbors of our construction sites positively assess the cooperation with us as a general contractor.<\/p>\n
