📋 Tender Overview
04.09.2025 Trains Under the current are already reaching Gizycko a historic moment for railways in Masuria. After the route from Elk to Gizycko there are trains using a new traction network. The electrification of the line means a new quality of traveling by rail over the green lungs of Poland - more efficiently, safer and friendly to the environment. This is another effect of the investment implemented by the Polish Linie Kolejowe S.A. worth nearly PLN 650 million net. The works are co -financed from EU funds - the Infrastructure and Environment Operational Program as well as the European Funds program for infrastructure, climate, environment. In June this year. On the modernized route between Elk and Gizycko (railway line No. 38 Bialystok - Glomno), trains have returned by combustion locomotives, and from Wednesdays, September 3, the journey by rail is also possible using the newly built -up traction network. PKP Intercity has already benefited from this opportunity. The first electric train IC Hancza entered the Gizycko station at 12.15. This means opening a new chapter in the history of railways in Masuria. Modernization and electrification of the route (the works are continued on the Gizycko -Korsze section) means more convenient travels for residents and tourists, better access to railways for all travelers and more attractive travel times. Ultimately, passenger trains will go twice as faster than before modernization, i.e. up to 160 km/h instead of 80 km/h. This will reduce the travel time towards Olsztyn by about 50 minutes, and the travel time will be below 2 hours. The investment will reduce the impact of rail on the environment of the Land of the Great Masurian Lakes. On the 49-kilometer section of Elk-Gizycko, travelers use rebuilt platforms at Woszczel stations and stops, Stare Juchy, Wydminy, Siedliska and Gizycko. Trains run a new track, and safe travel ensures new rail traffic control devices. We rebuilt 59 engineering facilities and modernized 26 rail and road crossings. For safety at the interface between roads and tracks, two collision -free intersections were created in Gizycko (along St. Bruno Street) and Wydminy and a tunnel under the tracks for pedestrians on ul. The European Union in Gizycko. The value of works on the Elk - Gizycko section is PLN 649 million net (PLN 798 million gross). The implementation of the project Work on the railway line No. 38 on the Elk - Korsza section with electrification is possible thanks to funding from the European Union - from the Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment, as well as the European Funds program for infrastructure, climate and environment. The value of co -financing is PLN 499 million net. Works on the Gizycko -Korsze section are constituted. Completion of works is planned in mid -2026, and the provision of this section with carriers in March 2026 we assume the possibility of shortening this term and providing infrastructure for carriers in December this year. The deadlines relate to sharing a lines for combustion traction traffic. Driving electrical trains will be possible after obtaining the Energia subsystem from the Office of Railway Transport. The value of the work on this section is PLN 876 million net (PLN 1.077 billion gross) from the funds of the National Reconstruction Plan. Project co -financed by the European Union from the Cohesion Fund under the Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment and the European Funds program for infrastructure, climate, environment.
