The impact
The project will have a key impact on transport in every dimension – regional, national and European. All carriers will use the new infrastructure.
2003
Beginning of implementation of the project
Since 2013
E65 has been included in the extended corridor with a new name of “Baltic–Adriatic Corridor”
The challenge
The international traffic route E65 was included in the 6th European Transport Corridor in the 90s but the history of Polish projects in the EU did not start until 2003. At that time, the list of EU projects contained two rail projects running through Poland. E65 was the first of them, with Rail Baltica being the other. It was a breakthrough moment for Polish projects in the EU.

The solution
The LOT A section is situated in the very heart of Silesia, which is a region with an extremely high level of urbanization. The basic challenge during project implementation is adjusting it to the existing infrastructure, as well as appropriate phasing of its execution in agreement with administrative bodies and city authorities. The aim is to organize the functioning of the surrounding infrastructure (including the road network) as efficiently as possible in the conditions of the planned modernization work, and to reduce their negative impact on the local community. The project assumes that the railway line will be passable throughout the implementation of the investment, which is why the work will be carried out in stages. Phasing must be planned with particular precision since it affects the timetables, which must be announced in advance in accordance with legal regulations. Another key challenge of the project is to take account of mining damage and to protect against its possible consequences. The LOT D section is a more standard project as it does not go through heavily urbanized areas or areas of mining damage.

The impact
The project will have a key impact on transport in every dimension – regional, national and European. All carriers will use the new infrastructure – those involved in local and regional traffic and those involved in international passenger and freight transport. The project covers the needs of various carriers and ensures their development. It is also in line with the plans of PLK and takes into account the areas where numerous sidings and train stations will be built.
