TORPOL to build a new railway station Olsztyn Główny
TORPOL S.A. has today concluded an agreement with Polskie Koleje Państwowe S.A. concerning the construction of a new Olsztyn Główny railway station facility. Together with the contract signed in November 2021 for the modernisation of the track-platform system and railway infrastructure of the Olsztyn Główny station, TORPOL has become the general contractor of works within the railway station and its facility, which are carried out as part of the project entitled “Works on the railway line No. 216 on the section Działdowo – Olsztyn.”
The main idea of the redevelopment of the station and the construction of a new railway station facility in Olsztyn is to integrate different means of transport and adapt the station building, both in terms of its scale, function and surrounding area development to the needs of modern passengers. The project involves the construction of a building consisting of two above-ground storeys and one underground storey with a total area of about 5.5 thousand m2 and the development of more than 12 thousand m2 of land adjacent to the building. At its functional core, the main function and element of the entire station is to be the underground passage, which will originate from the overground square connected to the transport hub at Plac Konstytucji, connecting the station building and continuing towards the platforms and the Zatorze district.
The value of the concluded contract is PLN 57.7 million excl. VAT, and the project is co-financed with the funds of the European Union within the framework of the Polska Wschodnia [East Poland] Operational Programme. The construction works are planned to last 74 weeks from the date of handing over the construction site.
Earlier, on 15 November 2021, TORPOL concluded an agreement with PKP PLK S.A. for the modernisation of the track-platform system and railway infrastructure at Olsztyn Główny station, with a total net value of PLN 382.1 million. The total value of the works within the railway station and the Olsztyn Główny railway station is therefore PLN 439.8 million excl. VAT.
