We have announced a tender for the reconstruction of another section of line No. 8 (Miasowa - Sitkowka Nowiny). We will increase the speed of trains to 140 km/h, increase the capacity of railway stations and improve safety by modernizing rail and road crossings and installing a digital traffic control system. This is a continuation of the investment of Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. for modern and efficient transport in the Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship. Railway line No. 8, connecting the Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship on the north-south axis, is undergoing thorough modernization. In November, we announced another tender for construction works on this trail. The task will cover a section of tracks over 18 km long. As part of the investment, 44 km of tracks and the traction network will be replaced. We will build 14 different engineering structures from scratch, and 2 bridges over the Nida and Czarna Nida will be renovated. We will increase safety in rail and road traffic by modernizing 6 rail and road crossings. At Wolica station, the pedestrian crossing at rail level will be replaced by a footbridge. Passengers will use the rebuilt platforms in Sobkow and Wolica. Radkowice will be transformed from a stop into a station, which will improve capacity and increase the possibilities of train traffic in the place where railway line No. 8 (Warszawa Zachodnia - Krakow Glowny) connects with railway line No. 73 (Kielce Glowny - Busko-Zdroj). Additionally, we will build new tracks at the stations, which will facilitate the transport of goods. - Over the coming years, we will modernize railway transport in the Swietokrzyskie Voivodeship. The modernization of railway line No. 8 will facilitate the development of regional railways and increase the possibilities of transporting goods, says Mateusz Wanat, director of the Southern Region of the Investment Implementation Center of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe SA. The modernized railway line will be adapted to handle heavier trains, which will reach higher speeds than before - up to 140 km/h for passenger trains and 120 km/h for freight trains. Station platforms will be adapted to the needs of people with reduced mobility. After preparing the technical documentation, the winner of the tender will start activities in the field, construction works are scheduled to last approximately 24 months.
