📋 Tender Overview
Objective
The main objective of the Project Works on the E 75 railway line (Rail Baltica), Osowiec - Elk section is to improve the quality of the railway connection along the line E75 on the Osowiec – Elk section to meet TEN-T Core Network requirements, and hence to improve its attractiveness and competitiveness in comparison to other means of transport.
The Project is part of the TEN-T Rail Baltica global project located on the North Sea - Baltic core network corridor and on the Rail Freight Corridor North Sea - Baltic (RFC 8). The Project is located in the Podlaskie and Warminsko – Mazurskie Voivodeships.
The Project covers reconstruction/upgrading of 37.7 km railway lines of the Osowiec – Elk section (excluding Elk station), embracing construction/reconstruction of the existing track, construction of second track, upgrade and construction of catenary, engineering structures, construction/modernization of stations/passenger stops, eliminations of level crossings, etc.
The Project is the continuation of the project CEF 2016-PL-TMC-0135-W Works on the E75 railway line Bialystok – Suwalki – Trakiszki (state border) section, Stage I Bialystok - Elk section , being the second phase of the modernization of the Bialystok– Elk section.
The Project will be implemented in the Build formula, on the basis of the design documentation prepared under the CEF project 2016-PL-TMC-0135-W.
The Project is focused at:
• improvement of the capacity of the upgraded section, by:
• increasing the speed of freight trains in general up to V= 120 km/h and passenger trains up to V=200 km/h,
• increasing the maximum permissible axle load to 221 kN;
• adaptation of the railway infrastructure to the actual needs of carriers and contractors and to the forecasted development directions;
• enhancing the accessibility of rail transport, comfort and passenger service, as well as safety of railway traffic and transported goods;
• ensuring railway interoperability and enabling non-discriminatory access to Polish infrastructure to operators from other countries
