📋 Tender Overview
14/10/2025 Otwock line: contract for four tracks signed The last section of the Warsaw East - Lublin line has been expanded. As part of the investment on the Otwock line, we will modernize 8 stops, build two new tracks, 4 collision-free intersections and 20 pedestrian tunnels. Today we signed an agreement with the contractor of the investment, which will be implemented for approximately PLN 1.4 billion net under the EU program European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment 2021-2027. In 2028, a train journey from Warsaw to Lublin will take approximately 90 minutes. The contract concerns the modernization and expansion of the last section of the Warszawa Wschodnia - Lublin route, i.e. the Warszawa Wawer - Otwock section (also known as the Otwock line). The contractor of the works was Trakcja S.A. Construction works will start this year. First of all, temporary platforms will be built at the stops between Warsaw Wawer and Warsaw Falenica, temporary crossings, turnouts in Miedzylesie and the so-called track bypasses, which will be used in subsequent stages of work. - This is a very important day for passengers who use connections between Otwock and Warsaw on a daily basis. New stops, greater capacity and full availability of rail will make even more people choose the rail to commute to work and school, which is important for the region. A difficult time of investment lies ahead of us, but the effects are worth waiting for, said Dariusz Klimczak, Minister of Infrastructure. - Good cooperation with Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. this is the key to the smooth running of this investment. The expansion of the railway line on the Warszawa Wawer - Otwock section is not only an improvement in communication, but also an impulse for the further development of our district. We are pleased that we work together for the benefit of residents and modern railway infrastructure - said Pawel Michalec, mayor of the Wawer District. - The Otwock line is one of the most used lines within the Warsaw Railway Junction and additional tracks are needed on it. Separating agglomeration traffic from long-distance traffic means more trains, more connections and faster journeys. It is also a guarantee of an efficient railway for decades to come. The investment on the Wawer - Otwock section is part of a broader plan to modernize the infrastructure in Warsaw - said Piotr Wyborski, President of the Management Board of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. Ultimately, we have planned to separate the traffic of long-distance trains from agglomeration trains on the Warsaw Wawer - Otwock section. For this purpose, two additional tracks will be built, which will allow for the creation of a completely new system between Warsaw East and Otwock. Thanks to this, the capacity of the line will increase and the number of trains running between Warsaw and Otwock and Warsaw and Lublin will be greater. This will translate into more efficient and predictable journeys both within the agglomeration and on long-distance routes. We will rebuild eight stops: Warszawa Anin, Warszawa Miedzylesie, Warszawa Radosc, Warszawa Miedzeszyn, Michalin, Jozefow, Otwock Swider and the Warszawa Falenica station. Each of them will feature a modern passenger information system. All stops will be adapted to serve passengers with mobility problems. The scope of work was agreed with the conservator of monuments in order to preserve the historic appearance of the winged shelters, as e.g. in Falenica. The investment on the Otwock line also means major changes in the safety and communication of towns along the tracks. 20 new crossings under the tracks will be built and the existing crossing at the Warszawa Falenica station will be rebuilt. As part of the investment, we will eliminate four rail-road crossings and replace them with: a road tunnel in Radosc (ul. Panny Wodnej - Izbicka), a tunnel in Falenica (ul. Walcownicza - Bystrzycka), a tunnel in Jozefow (around ul. Cichej - Matejki), road viaduct on the border of Warsaw and Jozefow (ul. Werbeny - Brucknera). In order to shorten the investment implementation time, we carried out preparatory work at the beginning of 2025. In Radosc (ul. Patriotow 211 and Panny Wodna 50) and in Falenica (ul. Byslawska) we demolished buildings that interfered with the new road system. In these places, grade-separated intersections will be built, which will ensure safe communication for residents. We have also reconstructed the sanitary sewage system between Anin and Miedzylesie - it was moved from the railway area to the road, which will enable the construction of underground passages as part of the construction of an additional track. We will renovate the existing bridges on the Swider River and build two new ones under the tracks of line No. 506. Noise barriers covered with greenery will appear along the line. Completion of construction works is planned for 2028. Works on the Otwock line are the last section of the modernized Warszawa Wschodnia - Lublin line. After completing the work and obtaining all the necessary documents, the travel time between Warsaw and Lublin will be shortened to approximately 90 minutes - currently the fastest train covers this route in 1 hour and 46 minutes. In previous yearsPolskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. they added a second track between Otwock and Pilawa and rebuilt the section from Pilawa to Lublin. A new Lublin Zachodni stop was built in Lublin. The project Works on the railway line No. 7 Warszawa Wschodnia Osobowa - Dorohusk on the section Warsaw - Otwock - Deblin - Lublin, stage II b (Warszawa Wawer - Otwock) is applying for co-financing by the European Union from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment 2021-2027
