Works on the A4 motorway, section Katowice-Krakow - update

Proper maintenance of the infrastructure of the A4 Katowice-Krakow motorway, e.g. carriageways and engineering structures (including bridges) results not only from the applicable regulations, but also from the provisions of the Concession Agreement, which obliges the concessionaire to hand over the motorway to the public party in 2027 in perfect technical condition, i.e. one that will not it required renovation and modernization over the following years.
