October 13, 2014 - The Salini Impregilo Group has received a provisional award for the construction of approximately 18.4 km of Lot B of the S7 highway in Poland, approximately 210 km north of Warsaw, which crosses the entire country up to the Slovakian border. The contract specifically regards the section between Milomlyn and Olsztynek. The value of the contract is approximately €239 million, with works expected to last 26 months. An advance payment of 5% is forseen upon the signature of the contract.

Lot B includes the improvement of the S7 section crossing the city of Ostroda from north to south (total 9.7 km) and the deviation of the DK16 (total 8.7 km), the Ostroda Bypass. The two new roadways in the project intersect south of Ostroda, at the “South Ostroda” junction.

Given the importance and tourism appeal of the city of Ostroda, as well as the system of small interconnected lakes and waterways crossed by the urban section of the S7 to be improved, particular attention has been paid to the environmental aspects of the project.

The Group therefore confirms its strong commercial capability in securing orders and consolidates its presence in the infrastructure sector of the country where it is already carrying out construction works on the A1 and S8 expressway.

“The award of new contracts allows us to maintain a sizeable orders portfolio and constitutes a solid basis for the Group’s growth in upcoming years», commented Chief Executive Officer Pietro Salini.
