A1 motorway (Rusocin – Toruń – Łódź – Częstochowa – Gliwice – Gorzyczki)

Concession stretch, opened first. Length (25 km) and the August 2004 concession agreement from the GDDKiA release of 18 October 2008; construction start by the concessionaire from plwiki. Four lanes with room for a third. Drawn centreline includes about 1 km before Rusocin junction.

Concession stretch (GTC S.A., now branded AmberOne). The GDDKiA release gives 65 km and an opening on 17 October 2008, before the contractual date; together with Rusocin – Swarożyn the concession section is 90 km. Construction began on the whole Rusocin – Nowe Marzy stretch on 29 July 2005.

Opened as Grudziądz – Toruń Południe (62 km) with the west carriageway of the Armii Krajowej bridge at Toruń and the bridge at Grudziądz. Originally part of the GTC concession; the minister annulled it in January 2007, GTC won in court and negotiations resumed in January 2008. Construction started on 24 August 2008, together with a 10.7 km upgrade of the S10. Length from the plwiki section table (62.42 km in the design contract). The junction called Toruń Południe in this table is numbered 12 and named Czerniewice by GDDKiA.

Opened on 21 December 2013 as Czerniewice – Włocławek Zachód, 45 km (plwiki gives 44 km), with a conditional use permit; local and service roads and rest areas were not yet open. GDDKiA describes the opened stretch as its first two sections plus part of the third. The original contract (17 June 2010, consortia of PBG SA and SRB Civil Engineering Limited, Toruń Południe – Kowal, 64 km, in two stages) was replaced: on 3 April 2013 GDDKiA signed new contracts with a consortium of Salini, Impregilo and Przedsiębiorstwo Budowy Dróg i Mostów KOBYLARNIA S.A. The sources give no termination date for the original contract and do not split the 2013 contracts between this lot and Włocławek Zachód – Kowal, so the three 2013 contractors are listed on both. GDDKiA gives the 2013 contract values as about 450 million PLN gross for sections I and II and about 608 million PLN gross for section III; they are not split by lot here.

Opened on 30 April 2014 (19.5 km in the plwiki text, 19 km in its table and on the GDDKiA page); from then the A1 is continuous from Łódź to Gdańsk. The original contract (17 June 2010, consortia of PBG SA and SRB Civil Engineering Limited, Toruń Południe – Kowal, 64 km) was replaced: on 3 April 2013 GDDKiA signed new contracts with a consortium of Salini, Impregilo and Przedsiębiorstwo Budowy Dróg i Mostów KOBYLARNIA S.A. The sources give no termination date for the original contract and do not split the 2013 contracts between this lot and Toruń Południe – Włocławek Zachód, so the three 2013 contractors are listed on both; the section III value (about 608 million PLN gross, Brzezie – Kowal) is not allocated to this lot.

Opened on 13 November 2012 as four sub-sections: Kowal – Kutno Północ (29.8 km), Kutno Północ – Kutno Wschód (15.2 km), Kutno Wschód – Piątek (9 km) and Piątek – Łódź Północ (21 km); the length is their sum. Drawn centreline is 2.4% longer than the summed figure.

Stryków – Tuszyn, chainage km 295+850 to 335+937.65 (40.09 km, from the GDDKiA contract table). The first contract (Polimex Mostostal, signed 22 December 2010, about 1,150 million PLN, VAT basis not stated: plwiki gives the 1.15 billion PLN offer and 1.16 billion PLN in its table) was dropped in 2014; three completion contracts followed (tasks I, II and III), with Strabag and Budimex on tasks I and III and Duna Polska SA on task II per the GDDKiA contract table. Opened 1 July 2016, about 22 months after the new contracts.

Section A of the Tuszyn – Pyrzowice works (chainage km 335+937.65 to 351+800, called Tuszyn – Bełchatów in the GDDKiA table; the junction is now Piotrków Trybunalski Południe). The road was first opened on 18 December 1989; plwiki records construction 1978–1989. It was rebuilt in 2019–2021 (plwiki table) and the rebuilt carriageways opened on 24 June 2022, so the 1989 opening date is kept and no km is added. Contract signed 30 July 2018 with Budimex SA and Strabag sp. z o.o.; the table value includes VAT.

Section B (chainage km 351+800 to 376+000, Bełchatów – Kamieńsk in the GDDKiA table). Opened to traffic on 24 November 2022 while final road marking and clean-up continued; plwiki gives April 2023 for the whole investment (completion 20 April 2023, ceremony 12 May). Contract with Mirbud SA signed 18 April 2019; the table value includes VAT. Drawn centreline is 5% longer than the sourced length.

Section C (chainage km 376+000 to 392+720). Opened to traffic on 24 June 2022 on a passability basis; plwiki's table gives July 2022. Contract signed 14 September 2018 (plwiki: 13 September) with Strabag sp. z o.o. and Budimex SA; the table value includes VAT.

Section D (chainage km 392+720 to 399+742.51; 7.02 km, plwiki: 7 km). The geometry is cut 7.02 km after Radomsko junction because the voivodeship border is not a mapped node. Opened 24 June 2022. Contract with Intercor sp. z o.o. signed 30 August 2018; the table value includes VAT.

Section E (voivodeship border to Rząsawa junction, bez węzła; 16.7 km in plwiki). Rząsawa is the former name of the Częstochowa Północ junction (plwiki), so the geometry ends there, not at the Mykanów junction 4 km to the north. Drawn centreline is 20.7 km, 24% longer than the sourced length, which is kept: the voivodeship border is not a mapped node, so the cut with Radomsko – border is approximate (sections D, E and F together draw 45.7 km against 44.0 km sourced). Opened 24 June 2022. Contract with Polaqua sp. z o.o. signed 23 July 2018; the table value includes VAT.

Section F, from Rząsawa junction (now Częstochowa Północ) to Blachownia (20.3 km in plwiki; drawn 18.0 km, 11% shorter, see the note on the previous section). The original contract (12 October 2015) was terminated on 29 April 2019. The main line opened to traffic on 23 December 2019 with an 80 km/h limit while work continued; the Jasna Góra junction opened on 15 February 2020 and the Blachownia junction on 10 June 2020. The security works contract is separate from the 703.28 million PLN award (VAT included); the completion contract is not recorded.

Section G, chainage km 437+800 to 442+500 (4.7 km), design-build. The GDDKiA page records the opening on 2 August 2019; plwiki adds that it could carry no traffic until Blachownia junction opened (10 June 2020). Contract with Berger Bau Polska sp. z o.o. and Berger Bau GmbH signed 31 August 2015, 219,382,321.53 PLN gross. Grant agreement under POIiŚ 2014–2020 (Cohesion Fund) signed 27 June 2016.

Section H (Zawodzie bez węzła – Woźniki z węzłem). Length measured from OpenStreetMap geometry; the sourced figure for H and I together is 33 km. Opened with section I on 2 August 2019. Contract with Strabag Infrastruktura Południe sp. z o.o. and Strabag sp. z o.o. signed 4 March 2016; the table value includes VAT.

Section I (Woźniki bez węzła – Pyrzowice bez węzła). Length measured from OpenStreetMap geometry; the sourced figure for H and I together is 33 km. Opened on 2 August 2019. Contract with Strabag Infrastruktura Południe sp. z o.o. and Strabag sp. z o.o. signed 26 August 2015; the table value (609,501,183.07 PLN) includes VAT.

Contract signed 27 July 2009 with a consortium of Budimex Dromex and Mostostal Warszawa for 16.1 km, planned for completion in March 2012 at nearly 1,830 million PLN (VAT basis not stated). Occupancy permit 29 May 2012, opened 1 June 2012. The whole Sośnica – Pyrzowice stretch cost 5,859 million PLN, of which 4,652 million PLN were EU funds (plwiki). Drawn centreline is 8% shorter than the sourced length.

Opened on 1 June 2012 with Pyrzowice – Piekary Śląskie (together 28 km Pyrzowice – Zabrze Północ). Finishing work ran to September 2012; the Bytom junction opened late on 17 October 2012.

Opened on 22 December 2011 (8.06 km in the plwiki text, 8.1 km in its table). Drawn centreline is 15% longer than the sourced figure, which is kept.

Opened on 30 September 2011 as Maciejów (Gliwice Wschód junction) – Gliwice Sośnica, 6.017 km (GDDKiA: 6.017 km, 13 structures, co-financed by the Cohesion Fund). Built from March 2009 by a consortium led by Polimex Mostostal with DOPRASTAV, Eurovia Polska and PRDiM; contract signed 9 March 2009. plwiki gives the construction cost as 1.1 billion PLN, with no price year or VAT basis; the GDDKiA page it cites does not state a cost, so no figure is recorded. The geometry runs between the mapped Gliwice Wschód junction and the centre of the Sośnica interchange and draws 6.5 km, 8% longer than the sourced length, which is kept; the separate 2.2 km Sośnica interchange (opened 23 December 2009, finished 7 July 2010) is not a lot of its own.

Opened on 23 December 2009 as Gliwice Sośnica – Bełk (renamed Rybnik in 2011); 15.5 km in the plwiki text, 15.4 km in its table. The Cohesion Fund covered 83% of the project cost of nearly 250 million EUR. The Sośnica interchange (2.2 km in the plwiki table) was built by J&P Avax (contract 30 May 2008), opened 23 December 2009 and finished on 7 July 2010. Drawn centreline runs from the interchange centre and matches the sourced length.

Opened on 15 December 2010 as Bełk – Rowień (now Rybnik – Żory), 7.5 km. Drawn centreline is 14% shorter than the sourced length, which is kept.

Opened on 21 April 2011 (7 km in the plwiki text, 6.6 km in its table). The whole Rybnik – Świerklany stretch was planned for November 2010; a flood inundated the site. Drawn centreline is 14% longer than the sourced length, which is kept.

Opened on 23 May 2014, completing Gliwice – Czech border; the formal completion date was 17 July. The date slipped from spring 2012 to August 2013 because of problems at the Mszana bridge; Alpine Bau withdrew from the bridge in May 2013 and Intercor signed on 26 June 2013 to finish it (plwiki article on the bridge). Świerklany – Gorzyczki (18.4 km) began on 16 November 2007 with a consortium of Alpine Meyreder Bau GmbH and Alpine Bau Deutschland. GDDKiA terminated that contract in December 2009 for slow progress. A tender result of 13 August 2010 chose Alpine Bau (legally a different entity), and GDDKiA terminated the contracts signed in June 2010 on 6 September 2010; the contract for the section was signed on 1 October 2010.

Opened on 30 November 2012 (11.1 km) to the Czech border at Gorzyczki, with traffic routed around the unfinished Mszana bridge by regional roads and, for lorries, national road 78. The section links to the Czech D1 (Bohumín). Świerklany – Gorzyczki (18.4 km) began on 16 November 2007 with a consortium of Alpine Meyreder Bau GmbH and Alpine Bau Deutschland. GDDKiA terminated that contract in December 2009 for slow progress.
