Trakcja PRKiI to build an overpass in Łódź

Over 55 million zlotys - this will be the net cost of the overpass to be built by Trakcja PRKiI under the contract awarded by the PKP PLK S.A. The structure will be located in the Niciarniana Street under the railroad line connecting the Łódź Widzew and the Łódź Fabryczna railway stations.

Trakcja PRKiI S.A. and PKP PLK have signed a contract for construction of a two-level crossing along Niciarniana Street in Łódź. The structure, whose final version was agreed in a nearly two years long consultation process with the residents of the city, will be located under the railroad line connecting the Łódź Widzew and the Łódź Fabryczna stations. A depression will be built in the Niciarniana Street over a distance of several hundred meters to maintain the existing level of the tracks. After the works at the Łódź Widzew station are completed and the railroad crossing in the Widzewska Street is eliminated, this will be the most important street connecting the northern and the southern part of the city in this area.

"We have performed the preparatory and design works in the period before the contract was concluded. We have extensive experience in the construction of this type of structures. What is still unknown is the actual location and the dimension of the water lens and the underground services that have not been identified", said Director Marek Kacprzak of Trakcja PRKiI S.A. who is in charge of the contract.

The works, planned until the end of June 2016, will be performed in several stages. The most important is to build the track system to enable travel to the Łódź Fabryczna station by 11 December 2015.
