The project sections are included in the Masovian Region Development Strategy to 2020, the National Road Construction Program 2008-2012 and the Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment, 2007-2013, all of which were subject to a form of strategic environmental assessment.The procedures and outcomes are to be further reviewed during appraisal.
