In Brief

• Gdańsk has announced a tender for the design of a road viaduct over the E65 mainline at Boczna Street in Orunia.
• The crossing aims to eliminate waiting at the railway gates in this part of the city.
• The order currently only includes design documentation, and construction will require a separate procedure.

Tender for the project at Boczna Street

The Gdańsk City Development Authority has initiated a procedure for preparing the design of a road viaduct that would carry traffic over the tracks of the E65 railway mainline. The investment is to be located near Boczna Street in Orunia (Koniec czekania przed rogatkami. Nad torami ma powstać wiadukt – portalsamorzadowy.pl).

End of waiting at the barriers

The crossing is expected to shorten the waiting time for drivers and pedestrians at the closed gates, which have previously extended travel through the district, especially during peak hours, when trains arrive.

Crossing without intersection with the tracks

The tender concerns a grade-separated crossing of the mainline, meaning a solution where the road runs over the tracks and does not intersect with them at the same level. The order includes Orunia, Święty Wojciech, and Lipce, an area where the track layout limits road connections (Przetarg na projekt bezkolizyjnego przekroczenia magistrali kolejowej w dzielnicy Orunia – Św. Wojciech – Lipce ogłoszony | Dziennik Bałtycki – dziennikbaltycki.pl).

For now, only the project

This stage includes only the design documentation. The construction of the viaduct will require a separate procedure, conducted after the completion of the design work and obtaining the necessary decisions. The deadline for submitting offers and the value of the order are included in the tender announcement.
