On January 9th, the European Union adopted a major project that will invest over EUR 432 million in the Warsaw metro system.
The project will fund the extension of Warsaw Metro Line 2, linking the eastern part of the city to the west.
“Sustainable urban mobility is crucial to the quality of life in our cities. By investing in the extension of the metro in Warsaw, we encourage people to change their habits, leave their cars and enjoy access to a fast and modern public transport system.” Commissioner for Regional Policy Corina Creţu said.
The EUR 432 million investment will finance the construction of six new metro stations: “Trocka”, “Targówek”, “Szwedzka” on the North-East section of the line and “Księcia Janusza”, “Młynów” and “Płocka” on the West section. It will also finance the construction of a technical terminal, the purchase of 13 new trains as well as preparatory works for further extension of the line.
Works are expected to be completed by November 2019.
The Warsaw Metro currently consists of two lines. The first segment of Line 2 opened in 2015, with EU financial support.
