A1 Motorway
In consortium with Skanska SA we built the northern section of A1 motorway with a length of 152 km. It was project of a strategic significance to the national transport grid.
The basic elements of the road system of the motorway included two roadways with two lanes in each direction with a central dividing strip, and the emergency lane along the roadway.
At the intersection with the main national roads, grade-separated interchanges providing access to the motorway corridor and enabling the connection with the existing road system were designed. Above the transverse roads and railway lines, grade-separated crossings without access to the motorway were designed. Along the road, rest areas, restaurants, toilets, and parking spaces for cars and lorries were planned.
Apart from the works related to the construction and the reconstruction of the existing roads, the construction of A1 motorway included also:
- Installation of a lighting system at road junctions,
- Providing environmental protection measures (e.g. embankments, noise barriers, protective greenery, oil separators, passages for animals),
- Construction of the motorway maintenance circuits and rest areas,
- Construction of the toll collection points and stations,
- Installation of traffic safety equipment (e.g. crash barriers, railings, fences and road signs),
- Reconstruction of power, telecommunications, sewage facilities, gas and water networks colliding with the motorway.
As part of the construction of the motorway, the longest motorway bridge in Poland was built near Grudziadz, its length reaching about 2 km.
