Description
Construction of several non-continuous sections (in total 162.5 km) of the S5 expressway between Nowe Marzy, Bydgoszcz and Mielno, and between Wronczyn and Radomicko.
Objectives
The project will improve traffic conditions on a TEN-T road corridor. The economic benefits expected include time savings and vehicle operating cost reductions for road users on the corridor due to enhanced road capacity. The project may also offer some modest safety and environmental benefits.

Environmental aspects
The project involves expressway road construction largely in a rural environment. All of the schemes fall under Annex I of Directive 2011/92/EU on environmental impact assessment (EIA) requiring a full EIA procedure. One section of the project, S5 Poznan - Wroclaw: sec. Wronczyn – Koscian Pld crosses the “Wielki Leg Obrzanski” (PLB 300004) and “Bedlewo – Bieczyny” (PLH 300039) Natura 2000 areas. Seven other sections are between 230m and 2.7km away from the nearest Natura 2000 areas. The last section S5 Nowe Marzy - Bydgoszcz, sec. Tryszczyn-Bydgoszcz (Biale Blota) borders the "Dolina Srodkowej Noteci i Kanalu Bydgoskiego" (PLB 300001) and "Dolina Noteci" (PLH 300004) Natura 2000 areas. The investments are included in the National Road Construction Programme and the current Infrastructure and Environment Operational Programme, both of which were subject to a form of strategic environmental assessment.
