A4 motorway (Jędrzychowice – Wrocław – Katowice – Kraków – Rzeszów – Korczowa)

One contract of 51.4 km: 1.7 km from the border at Jędrzychowice to the Zgorzelec junction strengthened (open since 15 July 1994 for freight and 1 August 1996 for cars) and 49.7 km of new motorway in two parts (20.3 and 29.4 km). Three tenders were cancelled (15 September 2005, 15 December 2005 and February 2006); the fourth was announced on 9 March 2006 and its offers were opened on 24 July 2006; the building permit was issued on 27 March 2007. The deadline was 19 months from 10 April 2007 (November 2008), extended by annex to 27 months (July 2009). Contractor and contract value are not given in the source. The drawn line is 49.51 km and starts at the first mapped motorway vertex near the border.

Pre-war Reichsautobahn (RAB 9), the oldest motorway in the corridor. Krzywa – Legnica (20.5 km) and Legnica – Wrocław (70.8 km) opened on 27 September 1936 and Golnice – Krzyżowa – Krzywa (17 km, now partly A18) on 17 October 1937. The surface was modernised in 2005–2006 without widening or emergency lanes (110 km/h limit); pl.wikipedia says a rebuild to three lanes plus a hard shoulder in the Wrocław area is expected in 2028–2030. The length of 99 km is from the sections table; the drawn line is 103.19 km.

Length is the sum of four sections (40.7 + 28.7 + 21.4 + 34.4 km) from the pl.wikipedia opening list. Some stretches of the Wrocław – Brzeg and Ujazd – Gliwice corridors had been built as single carriageways before 1945, and a 16 km dual-carriageway piece from the Opole (Prądy) junction west to the Nysa Kłodzka bridge opened in 1999; the lot opened as a full motorway when the last section opened on 26 July 2001. Drawn length 124.30 km.

Length is the sum of six sections from the pl.wikipedia opening list (17.9 + 19.1 + 15.7 + 4.4 + about 2 + 2.3 km). The Katowice Murckowska – Mikołowska piece (3.5 km) was signposted DK93 in the 1980s and 1990s. Sections opened between 1996 and 2005; the lot is complete from 28 October 2005. Drawn length 61.37 km. The Gliwice Sośnica junction is the A1 interchange; A1 is a separate project.

Tolled concession section of Stalexport Autostrada Małopolska S.A.: the concession agreement was signed on 19 September 1997 and runs to 15 March 2027 (61 km, per the operator's homepage), after which the road reverts to GDDKiA. It was built from east to west with state money as national road A4 between 1976 and 1991 and adapted to tolling in the 1990s. GDDKiA splits it into Murckowska – Byczyna (25.2 km) and Byczyna – Balice I (34.5 km). The concessionaire is listed as such, not as the builder. Drawn length 60.99 km.

Southern bypass of Kraków (Balice – Tyniecka – Sidzina – Opatkowice – Wielicka), 24 km per the sections table, built in pieces from 1988 and signposted as motorway in 2002. The Stalexport concession section ends at Balice, just before the Balice I junction. Drawn length 23.05 km.

Km 436+000 to 455+900 (19.9 km). Building permit issued on 24 November 2005. 30 bridge structures (15 motorway overpasses, 6 road overpasses, 5 motorway bridges, 1 wildlife crossing, 3 road bridges). The source says the cost reached about PLN 1 billion without a VAT basis or price year, so no cost is recorded. The planned opening date was 29 October 2009.

Three contracts: Targowisko – Brzesko (signed 22 December 2009, Polimex-Mostostal, Doprastav, Metrostav), Brzesko – Tarnów Mościce (20.8 km; terminated and completed by the Heilit+Woerner consortium) and Tarnów Mościce – Tarnów Centrum (13.0 km; Dragados S.A., signed 4 January 2010, 24 months). The pl.wikipedia table calls the end junction Tarnów Północ and the history calls it Tarnów Centrum; OSM names it Tarnów Centrum. Contract values are not given in the source. The lot is recorded as opened on 15 May 2013, the date of the last carriageway named in the source. Drawn length 57.30 km.

The first contract (PLN 1.75 billion gross, 24-month term, signed 7 July 2010) was terminated on 25 July 2012; three bidders competed for the completion, and Heilit+Woerner with Budimex won at over PLN 981 million gross, PLN 140 million below the investor's estimate. The first milestone was the Dębica Wschód junction within 6 months of the works start; finishing works outside the main route continued into mid-2015. The first low bid of PLN 1.34 billion gross by NDI was not signed. Drawn length 34.74 km.

Contract of PLN 1.73 billion with a 24-month term (planned completion May or June 2012); the section opened on 30 October 2013 (GDDKiA gives about PLN 1.7 billion and 43 structures). Drawn length 33.19 km.

Two contracts. Rzeszów Północ – Rzeszów Wschód: Mostostal Warszawa and Acciona won at PLN 439.5 million (VAT basis not stated); the building permit was issued on 29 December 2009 and the section opened on 10 September 2012. Rzeszów Zachód – Rzeszów Północ: Radko, Autostrada Wschodnia and Punj Lloyd signed on 22 April 2010 for PLN 441.7 million for A4 and the S19 link (A4 part PLN 234.3 million); GDDKiA terminated it at the end of May 2012 for lack of liquidity after 49% of the financial scope, and Budimex signed a completion contract in early 2013 (PLN 183 million per pl.wikipedia, almost PLN 184 million per GDDKiA), with the section opening on 30 October 2013. No value is recorded as a lot cost because the figures cover parts of the lot or the S19 link. The sources give the second section as 6.5, 6.8 and 6.9 km; 10.9 km is 4 + 6.9 from the sections table. Drawn length 10.28 km.

The contracts signed after the 2009 tender were terminated; Budimex took over the works in September 2014, in a consortium with Strabag (contract of PLN 719 million per GDDKiA). The section opened to traffic on 20 July 2016 with restrictions, the WA9 overpass opened on 31 August 2016 and all works outside the main carriageways ended on 20 October 2016. pl.wikipedia gives no contract values or dates for the earlier contractors. Drawn length 40.46 km.

Two design-build contracts: Jarosław – Przemyśl (25 km) and Przemyśl – Korczowa (22 km). A location decision for Przeworsk – Jarosław – Korczowa was issued by the voivode on 15 July 2009. Completion of Jarosław – Radymno was originally planned for April 2012. GDDKiA gives PLN 818 million for the Przemyśl – Korczowa contract (AVAX), a part of the lot, so no lot value is recorded; no value is given for Jarosław – Przemyśl. Drawn length 46.02 km; the road ends at the Korczowa border crossing.
