📋 Tender Overview
03.10.2025 Podleze-Piekielko: Drilling tunnels under the writer progresses in a good rhythm and Kinga without establishing underground two tunnels underground, thanks to which we will shorten travel by rail from Limanowa to Nowy Sacz. Powerful TBM discs, working on the largest investment of Polish Kolejowe S.A. In the south of the country, railwaymen from the entire continent visited, participants of European Railway Security Days. Modernization of the 104 railway line, which is part of the construction of tunnels, is co -financed by the European Union under the National Plan of Reconstruction and Increase Rest. The 170 meters long machine and weighing 900 tons was the first to work. In total, it has 3750 meters of underground building, which will be located next to a larger trains tunnel. This is created thanks to the work of Jadwiga, a more powerful machine weighing about 2.5 thousand. tone. The second object is much larger, because it is almost 11 meters in diameter, but the length will be identical. Since June, the larger TBM shield has been bothering almost 600 meters deep into the rock mass. This distance increases every day. Today, the construction site in Mecin was visited by European railwaymen participating in European Railway Security Days. This is an opportunity to take a closer look at one of the largest investments of PLK SA in the country. - The construction of tracks in a completely new place, using many engineering facilities, such as bridges, viaducts and tunnels, is a huge undertaking that poses many challenges for us and contractors. The scale of technical complexity of the investment requires us to use many innovative solutions. We are happy to share experiences with railwaymen and engineers from all over Europe - says Mateusz Wanat, director of the Southern Investment Implementation Center, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe SA.PRECE at the tunnels is an important part of the modernization of the railway line 104 (Chabowka - Nowy Sacz) on the Limanowa - Kneczany side. To shorten the train crossing, a new track is planned, using flyovers and viaducts. Ultimately, trains will be able to move this way at a speed of up to 160 km/h. Currently, construction works as part of the Podleze-Piekielko project are implemented on five sections. For three subsequent fragments: Szczyrzyc-Tymbark, Tymbark-Limanowa and Podleze-Gdow we conduct tender procedures. The design Podleze-Piekielko consists of modernization and electrification of 75 km of the Chabowka-Nowa Sacz route and the construction of 58 km of the new line, which ultimately connects with Tymbark and Mszana Dolna. Thanks to this, a new connection will be created, which will facilitate the communication of Krakow with Podhale and Sadecczyzna. The fastest trains will cover the Krakow -Nowa Sacz route in about 60 minutes. However, a journey from the capital of Lesser Poland to Zakopane will take about 90 minutes. Fragments of this investment are financed as part of the National Plan of Rebuilding and Increase Charges. More about the project :.
