The Bełchatów ring road is opened for traffic. This is yet another investment project completed by Budimex before deadline

On 23 December, the Bełchatów ring road was officially opened. An almost 11 kilometre section of national road No 74 (previously – national road No 8) was commissioned four months before the deadline. This is yet another road investment project completed by Budimex early. On 19 December, we announced the early commissioning of the S7 express road Miłomłyn – Ostróda Północ section.

The ring road is located north of Bełchatów, and intersects with provincial roads No 484 (Zelów – Bełchatów) and 485 (Pabianice – Bełchatów). In this project, four interchanges were completed (entry and exit trumpet interchange, at the intersection with the provincial roads – diamond) eight road-bridges, a ramp for animals, and a bridge.
