Major Infrastructure Projects in Poland Create Strong Business Opportunities

Poland is currently undergoing a large-scale infrastructure transformation, offering substantial business opportunities for domestic and international companies. With dozens of strategic projects planned or already initiated across transportation, communication, and energy sectors, the country is positioning itself as a major logistics and infrastructure hub in Central and Eastern Europe.

Central Communication Hub (CPK): A Game-Changer for Poland’s Connectivity

At the heart of Poland’s infrastructure expansion is the Central Communication Hub (CPK), one of the most ambitious projects in the region. The CPK will include a new international airport and a vast network of road and rail links, aiming to become a central European transport node.

Key opportunities in the CPK project include:

• Construction of access corridors and road networks (estimated over €250 million), with tenders already open.
• Railway sidings and infrastructure works, including the Warsaw–Łódź line, each valued at over €250 million and starting in late 2025.
• Airport terminal construction, including competitive dialogue procedures for major contracts.
• General contracting and engineering services for airport infrastructure.

Rail Infrastructure: Enhancing Regional and National Mobility

Poland is heavily investing in modernizing and expanding its railway system. The state-owned PKP PLK is managing multiple projects with values often exceeding €250 million.

Highlights include:

• Reconstruction of key railway sections, such as Tymbark–Limanowa, Warszawa Wschodnia, and Gdańsk Osowa–Gdynia Główna.
• Development of new railway stations (e.g., Biała Rawska).
• Projects focus not only on increasing capacity and safety but also on preparing for integration with the European high-speed rail network.

Road Infrastructure: Expanding Strategic Corridors

The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) is leading over a dozen major road and expressway projects to improve Poland’s road network.

Notable projects include:

• Construction of bypasses in Limanowa, Mierzyn, and Starachowice.
• Design and construction of expressways, such as the S10 between Piła and Bydgoszcz, and the S17 and S19 corridors in eastern Poland.
• Reconstruction of A2 motorway sections to improve east–west traffic flow across the country.

Investment values range from €25 million for smaller bypass projects to over €170 million for large-scale expressway construction.

Urban Transport: Metro Development in Kraków and Warsaw

Urban mobility is also a focus area:

• Kraków plans to begin its metro construction project by 2028 (the city is currently in the process of obtaining environmental decision for the project).
• Warsaw has started design work for Metro Line 3, with full construction expected by 2028.

These projects will require extensive civil engineering, tunneling, systems integration, and rolling stock supply.

High-Speed Rail: Modernizing Intercity Travel

As part of its High-Speed Rail development strategy, PKP Intercity plans to purchase:

• 26 new high-speed trains, with an option for 20 more, by 2026.

This creates opportunities for train manufacturers, component suppliers, and companies offering advanced control systems.

Conclusion

Poland’s current infrastructure roadmap presents a wide array of business opportunities in engineering, construction, transportation, logistics, and advanced technologies. Companies with relevant expertise should monitor the EU’s Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) platform and other Polish public procurement channels, as many high-value tenders are already open or will be announced by the end of 2025.

The scale, geographic spread, and strategic importance of these projects make Poland an increasingly attractive market for infrastructure investment and public-private partnerships.

For entities considering participation in Polish public tenders, particularly those related to the projects outlined above, professional legal assistance can be valuable in navigating the local regulatory and procedural landscape.

In this regard, 4K Legal and its public procurement experts are available to provide legal and strategic support to the international contractors at every stage of the tendering and implementation process. Our experience spans not only public procurement law, but also broader aspects of infrastructure project execution in Poland.
