Polskie Linie Kolejowe (PKP PLK) has announced a tender for the construction and modernization of the Czachówek Wschodni–Pilawa railway section, including a new bridge in Góra Kalwaria. The investment is estimated at approximately PLN 1.3 billion, the company reported. The selected contractor will prepare detailed project designs and carry out construction works on the Czachówek Wschodni to Pilawa segment. The project will involve upgrading tracks, traction networks, and traffic control systems, enabling passenger trains to travel at speeds of up to 120 km/h. Freight trains will also benefit from similar speeds on the upgraded tracks, enhancing the freight ring road connecting Skierniewice and Łuków, which bypasses Warsaw. A major component of the project is the construction of a new two-track railway bridge over the Vistula River in Góra Kalwaria, replacing the current single-track bridge. This improvement is expected to eliminate a bottleneck, increasing the capacity of trains on this route. Travelers will benefit from upgraded stations and stops, featuring modern platforms accessible to individuals with limited mobility. Additional amenities, including shelters, benches, and enhanced passenger information systems, will also be installed. The modernization of the Czachówek Wschodni–Pilawa section and the bridge in Góra Kalwaria will be carried out from 2025 to 2028, with co-financing from the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility. A separate project to modernize the Skierniewice–Czachówek section is scheduled for 2026–2029. Source: Polskie Linie Kolejowe and ISBnews Photo: Polskie Linie Kolejowe
