Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A. has signed an agreement with Transprojekt Gdański Sp. z o.o. to develop a design for greenery plantings and murals along railway line no. 7. The investment will cover the Warszawa Gocławek – Otwock section and aims to improve the aesthetics of the track surroundings.
Scope of work and locations
The subject of the order, which amounts to PLN 860,385 gross, also includes the preparation of mural designs in road tunnels. The planned decorations are set to appear in Warszawa Radość, Warszawa Falenica, and Józefów. The contractor has 8 months to prepare the full design documentation.
As reported by Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A., these actions are a response to residents' demands regarding increasing the amount of greenery along the Otwock line. The designed plantings are intended to take into account existing infrastructure and railway traffic safety requirements. On the other hand, the planned murals are to refer to the history and local character of the towns located along the route.
Modernization of line no. 7
The greenery project is part of a much larger modernization investment, the total value of which exceeds PLN 2 billion gross (PLN 1.7 billion net). The work on line no. 7 aims primarily at improving travel conditions and increasing capacity, which will allow for running a greater number of trains.
The completion of the entire modernization investment is planned for 2028. The implementation of greenery plantings will be possible after the main construction works are completed.
