Construction is due to begin in December 2026 and finish by the end of 2029.
PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe has awarded
Torpol a nearly EUR 706m contract to rebuild Warszawa Wschodnia and Warszawa
Stadion.
The project covers the eastern rail gateway
to central Warsaw and prepares the network for the later reconstruction of the
cross-city line. Warszawa Wschodnia handles almost 1,000 trains a day, making
the staging of works as important as the civil engineering scope.

Traffic will be maintained during
construction. Some long-distance services will be diverted to Warszawa Gdańska
and Warszawa Główna, while suburban services will later use a bypass through
Warszawa Stadion, Warszawa Powiśle and Warszawa Śródmieście.
The works include the reconstruction of
seven platforms at Warszawa Wschodnia, new roofs, standardised platform
heights, passenger information systems, lifts and escalators. Three existing
underpasses will be rebuilt, and a new tunnel connection will improve access
within the station area and towards Tysiąclecia Street.
Warszawa Stadion will also be rebuilt,
including platform works and a new pedestrian link to Stadion Narodowy metro
station. The connection is intended to make transfers possible inside the
transport node rather than through the surrounding street network.

The infrastructure package includes more
than 46 km of rebuilt track, 57 km of new overhead contact line, 170 turnouts
and seven rebuilt railway viaducts. A new 1,600 m, 29-span viaduct will connect
Warszawa Wschodnia with line 9, used by services towards Gdańsk, Olsztyn and
Legionowo.
The project is co-financed from the EU’s
FEnIKS programme for infrastructure, climate and environment.
