S61 expressway Via Baltica (Ostrów Mazowiecka – Łomża – Ełk – Suwałki – Budzisko)

Starts at the Podborze junction with the S8 and includes the Komorowo junction; the works also rebuilt about 3 km of the existing S8. Best offer chosen on 21 November 2019. GDDKiA gave the value of the 2020 contract as nearly 750 mln zł, which is not an exact figure and is not recorded as a cost. pl.wikipedia dates the permanent traffic organisation to 13 August 2024. The drawn centreline is 3% longer than the sourced 19.46 km.

Includes the Śniadowo junction. No contract value is given on the MSBD page. pl.wikipedia gives 11 October 2018 as the signing date, but the MSBD page dates the contract to 9 February 2018 and gives 11 October 2018 for the terminated Łomża Zachód – Kolno contract, so the MSBD date is used. The drawn centreline is 4% shorter than the sourced length.

Includes the Łomża Południe junction, where the 8.9 km DK63 spur to Zambrów starts; the spur is not drawn and not counted in the length. The contract value is stated as more than 218.1 mln zł. pl.wikipedia gives 22 December 2017 for the signing (the GDDKiA release and MSBD give 21 December) and dates the opening to 2 June 2023, after the Łomża Zachód junction was finished; the MSBD date of the main carriageways is used. The drawn centreline is 7% shorter than the sourced length.

Includes the Nowogród and Łomża Północ junctions and the 1.2 km bridge over the Narew valley (1,205 m per pl.wikipedia). The 6.96 km DK64 Łomża Północ – Elżbiecin road built in the same contract is not drawn and not counted. The offer chosen on 23 March 2022 was 713.4 mln zł (pl.wikipedia); the contract value is not stated separately, so no cost is recorded. The sourced S61 length is 12.92 km (MSBD); pl.wikipedia gives 12.99 km. The drawn centreline is 1% longer than the sourced length.

Includes the Kolno junction, where DK63 joins; the 2.25 km DK63 stretch is not drawn and not counted. The contract also covered the second carriageway of part of the Stawiski bypass, whose first carriageway opened on 19 December 2013; that part is not split out. The contract value is the construction contract value quoted by GDDKiA on 31 October 2017. The drawn centreline is 5% shorter than the sourced length.

Starts after the Stawiski junction, includes the Grabowo junction and ends where the Szczuczyn bypass begins. The contract also covered the second carriageway of part of the Stawiski bypass (first carriageway opened on 19 December 2013), which is not split out. The end of the lot is not at a mapped node: the boundary is placed by the sourced length, about 3.9 km before the OSM Szczuczyn junction. The drawn centreline is 1% shorter than the sourced 18 km.

Includes the Szczuczyn junction. Built as one carriageway with reserve for the second. The second carriageway (6.59 km, Polaqua, contract of 26 May 2017, lowest offer 75.08 mln zł) opened on 15 May 2020 under CEF funding. Length 8 km per pl.wikipedia. The ends are not at mapped nodes: the boundaries are placed by the sourced length, about 3.9 km before and 3.6 km after the OSM Szczuczyn junction. The second carriageway was added over 2.897 km from the Łomża side and 3.691 km from the Grajewo side (MSBD). The drawn centreline is 6% shorter than the sourced length.

Includes the Ełk Południe junction. Works began in March 2020 and the contract deadline was 31 July 2022 (MSBD). The start is the end of the Szczuczyn bypass, not a mapped node; that boundary is placed by the sourced length. Co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility. The drawn centreline is 12% shorter than the sourced length.

The sourced 22.95 km is the MSBD length of the S61/S16 section, which includes about 3.4 km of connection to the S16 Ełk bypass; the drawn line follows the S61 only and ends at the Kalinowo junction, which OSM records with the old name Wysokie (ref 15) and which MSBD counts in the next lot. pl.wikipedia gives a contract value of 685,948,284.67 zł; the MSBD figure is recorded. Co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility. The drawn centreline is 5% shorter than the sourced length.

Ends at the Raczki junction, where the S61 meets DK8. Co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility. The Wysokie end is taken at the Kalinowo junction (OSM old name Wysokie), which MSBD lists in this lot. The drawn centreline is 10% shorter than the sourced length.

The two-carriageway S61 part of the Augustów bypass, from the Raczki junction to the Suwałki Południe junction. The 659 mln zł contract (gross) covers the whole 34.23 km bypass, including 21.48 km of single-carriageway DK8 and a 2.4 km county road link, so it is not the cost of this lot alone and is not recorded as such. Co-financed under the Infrastructure and Environment programme (POIiŚ). The drawn centreline is 6% shorter than the sourced length.

Runs from the Suwałki Południe junction past the new Suwałki Zachód junction to the Suwałki Północ junction (not included). Cement concrete surface, a first on the S61 in Podlasie. Contract value 299.4 mln zł for 34 months excluding winters (GDDKiA, 2015). Co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility. The drawn centreline is 5% shorter than the sourced length.

Includes the Suwałki Północ and Szypliszki junctions, the Budzisko rest areas and ends at the Lithuanian border, where the road continues as the A5 towards Kaunas. Contract of 8 January 2020 with Budimex at 1.037 bn zł (pl.wikipedia; GDDKiA: more than 1 bn zł); contract deadline 7 April 2023. Co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility. The drawn centreline is 4% shorter than the sourced length.
