The Astaldi Group has been awarded a EUR 209 million contract to extend Line 2 of the Warsaw metro. The contract includes the design and the construction of the 3km route’s eastern section, from the Dworzec Wileński Station to the stabling tracks past Station C-18, featuring twin-tube tunnels and 3 underground stations. The tunnels will be excavated using the two TBMs that have already been employed for the first section of the line. The contract also calls for building the link with the line’s central section, as well as the civil and railway systems, superstructure, and all related works. The works are planned to be completed in 36 months, beginning in early 2016.
The works are commissioned by Metro Warszawskie Sp.z o.o., the public company in charge of the operations of the underground in the Polish city on behalf of the Municipality of Warsaw. The works will be financed with European funds and through a local budget. Visit http://www.metro.waw.pl/ and www.astaldi.it. 45/15.
