Budimex: putting the Cracow Zabłocie and Cracow Krzemionki rail connection into service
After 2 years, the rail connection between Cracow Zabłocie and Cracow Krzemionki stations was completed by Budimex SA and Ferrovial Agroman SA and put into service in December 2017, after 4 months of work. The first trains showed up almost immediately after introduction of the new train schedule. Thanks to the new connection, it is possible to travel by rail along the Cracow Główny – Skawina and further to Oświęcim and Zakopane. Because of the connection, the travel time from Cracow to Zakopane was shortened by 15 minutes.
The range of construction works involved the reconstruction of the railway system and construction of a new railway line along railway viaducts between Cracow Zabłocie – Cracow Krzemionki passenger stations. Reconstructed also were passenger stations, roads, overhead contact lines, electromagnetic devices and railway traffic signalling equipment, telecommunication cables and water, sewage, heating and gas networks. The total net cost of the investment was PLN 190 million.
The investment is one of the important elements of modernisation of the Cracow’s railway junction, which will lead to the expansion and improvement of the transport services provided and increase the attractiveness of rail transport in the Cracow agglomeration. The connection is one of the main elements of the National Railway Programme.
