On December 31, the government adopted a new resolution establishing a program for the construction of the Central Communications Port (CPK).
The Council of Ministers has adopted a new resolution on the adoption of the multi-year program “Investment Program Central Communication Port. Phase II. 2024-2030”, submitted by the Plenipotentiary Government for the Central Communication Port. The Cabinet has updated the financial and timeframe, as well as the conditions for the implementation of the plans related to the Central Communications Port for 2024-2032, the Prime Minister’s Chancellery announced on Tuesday.
The first phase of the airport and the railway line
The new schedule assumes that the first phase of the CPK airport and the high-speed railway (HSR) between Warsaw, CPK and Łódź will start by the end of 2032.
Advanced construction works are also planned on the HSR routes to Wrocław and Poznań. As part of the “Poland in 100 minutes” program, it takes about 100 minutes to reach these cities from Warsaw.
Costs 131 billion in 2032
According to the document, the updated total cost of the CPK program until 2032 was estimated at PLN 131.7 billion. The investment in CPK will be made using money available to the Ministry of Finance, “EU money”, and external funds, including bank debt and bonds issued by CPK.
The Council of Ministers resolution stated that the launch of the CPK airport would amount to the transfer of commercial traffic from Warsaw’s Chopin Airport. In this way the profitability of the project must be guaranteed.
The announcement from the Prime Minister’s Chancellery also stated that the port will have a passenger terminal, allowing it to handle at least 34 million passengers per year. The investment also includes the widening of the A2 motorway between Warsaw and Łódź to three lanes.
