S7 expressway (Gdańsk – Elbląg – Warszawa – Radom – Kielce – Kraków – Rabka)

Two sub-sections of 16.2 km and 16 km, tendered on 19 August 2020 and signed on 16 April 2021 (pl.wikipedia). The missing ramps at the Chwaszczyno junction, giving direct S6 – S7 movements, opened on 22 September 2025. The drawn centreline starts at the Chwaszczyno junction; the planned northern extension to Gdynia is not drawn.

Built in 2010–2012 by a consortium of Bilfinger Berger (leader) and Wakoz, linking the Tri-City ring road and the A1 with the former DK7 (pl.wikipedia). The drawn centreline is 9% shorter than the sourced 18.0 km; the sourced length is kept.

Two contracts signed on 9 October 2015: Koszwały – Nowy Dwór Gdański (20.47 km, Metrostav, more than 1.642 bn PLN) and Nowy Dwór Gdański – Kazimierzowo (19.14 km per GDDKiA, 19.5 km per pl.wikipedia, Budimex, 1.576 bn PLN per pl.wikipedia). Built in 2015–2019 and opened together on 31 October 2018. The Budimex contract included a viaduct on ul. Żuławska in Elbląg. The drawn centreline ends at the Elbląg Południe junction, 4% longer than the sourced 40 km.

Sum of two entries listed by pl.wikipedia (4.2 km section rebuilt from DK7 in 2005–2007, and the 0.7 km Elbląg Wschód junction, a rebuild of an existing interchange from 2004–2005). The drawn centreline follows the DK7 corridor.

Built in 2008–2011 by a consortium led by Eurovia Polska, for 662.1 million PLN (VAT basis not stated). The contract also added the missing ramp at the Raczki (now Elbląg Południe) junction.

Works began in 2010 (pl.wikipedia, no month given). The sources read do not name the contractor or the contract value.

The Miłomłyn bypass opened as a single carriageway on 9 December 1997 and was rebuilt in 2014–2016 together with DK7 up to Czerwona Karczma. Contract signed on 5 November 2014 with Budimex and Ferrovial Agroman: 20 months, winter periods (15 December to 15 March) excluded. The Miłomłyn Północ and Południe junctions were rebuilt to expressway standard.

Sum of three sections (9.7 + 8.8 + 11.2 km), all opened in 2017. Ostróda Północ – Południe: Budimex with Ferrovial Agroman, signed on 15 June 2015 for 1.3 bn PLN (pl.wikipedia, GDDKiA); that contract also covers the 8.7 km Ostróda bypass on DK16, so it is not recorded as the cost of this lot. Its last structure, the Niepodległości bridge over the Pauzeński canal, opened on 20 June 2018. Ostróda Południe – Rychnowo: Strabag Infrastruktura Południe (formerly Heilit+Woerner), 299.2 million PLN. Rychnowo – Olsztynek Zachód: Strabag, 388.5 million PLN. VAT basis of the pl.wikipedia figures is not stated. The section lengths are contract lengths and do not match the junction-to-junction distance on the drawn line exactly.

GDDKiA gives 31.3 km of expressway for the contract (3 km of S7 opened on 29 September 2012 plus 28.3 km, pl.wikipedia). The contract value was over 1.185 bn PLN, but it also covers the 5.7 km Olsztynek bypass on S51, so it is not recorded as the cost of this lot. Junctions Olsztynek Wschód, Olsztynek Zachód, Grunwald, Waplewo and Rączki. The drawn centreline is 17% shorter than 31.3 km: it runs between the OpenStreetMap junction nodes Olsztynek Zachód and Nidzica Północ (the GDDKiA chainage km 175+800 to 203+600 is 27.8 km).

Two contracts: Nidzica Północ – Nidzica Południe (9.1 km, Strabag, 229.4 million PLN) and Nidzica Południe – Napierki (13.6 km, Strabag Infrastruktura Południe, 263.1 million PLN), signed on 22 January 2015. GDDKiA gives a total project cost of 629.75 million PLN including documentation, land and supervision; it is not recorded as a contract value. Junctions Nidzica Północ, Nidzica Południe, Powierż and Napierki. The drawn centreline is 20% shorter than the sourced 22.7 km: the sourced lengths run beyond the junction nodes at both ends (GDDKiA chainage km 203+500 to 225+100 is 21.6 km).

Four contracts: Napierki – Mława (about 14 km, Strabag consortium, 294.7 million PLN, signed on 20 December 2017, ZRID of 6 March 2020), Mława – Strzegowo (about 21.5 km, PORR S.A. and PORR Bau GmbH, 446.1 million PLN, signed on 20 December 2017, ZRID of 9 October 2019), Strzegowo – Pieńki (about 22 km, Strabag consortium, 516.2 million PLN) and Pieńki – Płońsk (about 13.7 km, Strabag consortium, 311.7 million PLN), the last two signed on 12 January 2018 with a ZRID of 30 August 2019. GDDKiA states 34 months for each contract and gives the contract amounts without a VAT basis; pl.wikipedia rounds two of them to 294.8 and 446.2. Lengths are 35.5 km (Napierki – Strzegowo) and 35.7 km (Strzegowo – Płońsk). The drawn centreline runs from Napierki to Płońsk Północ.

DK7 rebuilt to expressway standard on km 275+700 to 280+400 of the Płońsk bypass, with three junctions (Płońsk Północ, Płońsk, Siedlin), built from 28 September 2007 to 31 May 2009 by a Teerag-Asdag consortium for about 200 million PLN (pl.wikipedia, VAT basis not stated). GDDKiA gives the opening as 3 June 2009.

Three design-build contracts: Płońsk Południe (Siedlin) – Załuski (12.9 km), Załuski – Modlin (12 km) and Modlin – Czosnów (9.7 km). Modlin – Czosnów was signed on 12 May 2020 with Budimex for about 598.8 million PLN (VAT basis not stated), 36 months, and is rebuilt in place of DK7 with three lanes per direction; the sources read do not name the contractors of the other two contracts, so none is recorded for them, and no lot total is recorded. Between Zakroczym and Czosnów (14.6 km) the former expressway, opened as 2x2 on 16 June 1990, was widened to two carriageways of three lanes. The ZRID for Siedlin – Załuski was issued on 2 May 2023. The drawn centreline ends where OpenStreetMap stops tagging the road as S7, 4% shorter than the sourced 34.6 km.

Design-build contract signed on 16 November 2023 with a consortium of Fabe Polska (leader), SP Sine Midas Stroy (Kazakhstan) and Yörük Yapı İnşaat (Turkey), 536.3 million PLN, 36 months from signing with winter periods (16 December to 15 March) not counted. The existing two-lane dual carriageway DK7 becomes an expressway with three lanes plus a hard shoulder in each direction, with junctions Czosnów, Palmiry and Sadowa. The ZRID permits for sections A and B were issued on 11 March 2026 and the site of section A was handed over on 16 March 2026. The GDDKiA project site still gives May 2027 as the planned end (17 months were allowed for design and ZRID, which came about a year later) and reported works progress of 7.47% in October 2026; pl.wikipedia gives May 2028 without an official source, so no expected opening is recorded. The road is built in place of DK7: OpenStreetMap has no separate S7 alignment here (some DK7 ways carry highway=construction, ref 7), so the drawn centreline follows the existing DK7. It is 30% longer than the sourced 9 km because it starts where OpenStreetMap stops tagging S7 near Czosnów and ends where the proposed Kiełpin – Warszawa S7 begins.

Section A of the Warszawa – Grójec project, 6.6 km from the Warszawa Lotnisko junction to the Lesznowola junction, with the Zamienie junction; three lanes per direction. The planned completion in the first contracts was April 2021. The drawn centreline starts at the Warszawa Lotnisko junction ramps and is 21% shorter than the sourced 6.6 km; the road north of it is shared with S2 and S8 and is not drawn.

Section B of the Warszawa – Grójec project, 14.8 km (pl.wikipedia: about 15 km), two lanes per direction with a reserve for a third. The Antoninów junction opened on 31 August 2023 and the Tarczyn Północ junction on 30 October 2023; the road was designated an expressway on 22 March 2024 (pl.wikipedia). The lot is shown as opened on the day the main carriageways opened.

Section C of the Warszawa – Grójec project, 7.9 km from the crossing with the former DK7 near Pamiątka to the existing Grójec bypass, with the Tarczyn Południe junction. Marked as an expressway from May 2021 (pl.wikipedia). The Tarczyn Północ junction at its start belongs to the previous lot. The drawn centreline is 15% longer than the sourced 7.9 km.

Design-build contract with Dragados (729.4 million PLN per pl.wikipedia; GDDKiA gives about 728.2 million PLN for the construction works at opening), 2015–2018, with four junctions (Radom Północ, Radom Zachód, Wolanów, Radom Południe) and 27 bridge structures.

Contract with Dragados signed on 3 July 2014 (pl.wikipedia). The section includes the Szydłowiec bypass, a 4.1 km single carriageway from 1992 rebuilt to an expressway with three junctions; elsewhere it mostly follows a new alignment east of DK7. The drawn centreline ends at the Mazowieckie – Świętokrzyskie voivodeship boundary, placed where the line crosses the OpenStreetMap boundary.

Contract with Budimex signed on 10 October 2017, 22 months excluding winters. The route runs west of the old DK7, with junctions Skarżysko-Kamienna Zachód and Północ, four viaducts and two bridges. The drawn centreline starts at the voivodeship boundary and is 16% shorter than the sourced 7.6 km, which probably includes the junction approaches.

Short bypass opened on 19 December 2005; designated an expressway on 27 April 2011 together with the next section.

Section opened on 27 April 2011. The Występa end is placed by the cumulative sourced section lengths, because no junction marks it.

Section with the Kielce Północ junction. The cuts at Występa and Wiśniówka are placed by the cumulative sourced section lengths.

The bypass was a single carriageway built in 1974–1984 and widened to 2x2 in 2010–2013, with the option of three lanes per direction. Junctions Kielce Zachód, Kielce Jaworznia and Kielce Południe (Chęciny).

Opened in stages in 2018; the planned end was the third quarter of 2017 and all works finished at the end of 2020, with contractual penalties of 60.6 million PLN charged to the contractor. A short stretch of about 1 km at Chęciny opened on 26 October 2018.

Junctions Jędrzejów Wschód, Jędrzejów Południe (Łączyn), Mierzawa and Wodzisław. The Jędrzejów bypass (6.8 km, 2003–2005) was completed to two carriageways under this contract. The drawn centreline starts at the Jędrzejów Północ junction and ends where it crosses the Świętokrzyskie – Małopolskie boundary in OpenStreetMap, 6% longer than the sourced 20 km.

The first tender for Moczydło – Szczepanowice (September 2015) ended without a contract after the environmental decision was annulled following protests in Poradów. Contract of 16 April 2020 with Intercor for more than 752.9 million PLN (VAT basis not stated), 31 months with winters excluded from the works period; junctions Książ and Miechów, 24 structures and two rest areas. pl.wikipedia gives August 2020 for the start of works; GDDKiA gives 27 July 2020. The drawn centreline ends after the Miechów junction and is within 1% of the sourced 18.7 km.

The last section of S7 in Małopolskie to be contracted. The first tender (September 2015) ended without a contract after the environmental decision was annulled following protests in Poradów. Works began in 2023 (pl.wikipedia, no month given). The drawn centreline spans the stretch between the Miechów and Szczepanowice junctions.

Contract signed on 8 January 2018, 34 months with winters excluded from the works period. The ZRID was issued on 23 August 2019 and the site handed over on 28 August 2019 (GDDKiA; pl.wikipedia gives the ZRID as 28 August). Two junctions (Szczepanowice and Widoma), 10 viaducts and one 681 – 689 m viaduct at Szczepanowice. GDDKiA gives 13.1 km; pl.wikipedia says about 14 km.

The contracts cover the whole 18.3 km Widoma – Kraków Nowa Huta (junctions Łuczyce, Raciborowice, Mistrzejowice and Grębałów), of which 13.3 km, without the Mistrzejowice junction, opened on 23 December 2024. The 2021 contract with Gülermak and Mosty Łódź is worth 1,545,681,714.00 PLN (VAT basis not stated), so it is not recorded as the cost of this lot. The ZRID decision of the Małopolska voivode is dated 20 July 2020 and the site was handed over a week later; Webuild (formerly Salini) was terminated on 7 December 2020 after only preparatory works. The Mistrzejowice interchange and the remaining 5 km of the Kraków ring road towards Nowa Huta were still being built at the time of the source and are not part of this lot.

7.6 km (7.5 km in the 2016 GDDKiA announcement), about 24% of it on structures and 49% in cuttings. Gross (brutto) contract value at signing: 521.52 million PLN (IDS-Bud with Altis-Holding, terminated); the replacement contracts were about 42.2 million (TBM, viaduct) and over 74.5 million PLN (Strabag, right carriageway, VAT basis not stated). A landslide halted work on the right carriageway and GDDKiA terminated the IDS-Bud contract on 17 July 2020; replacement contracts followed on 1 September 2020 (TBM) and 22 December 2020 (Strabag). The lot is shown as opened when traffic first ran over the whole length on one carriageway (20 December 2019); the second carriageway opened on 30 November 2021. The road ends at Naprawa and joins the Naprawa – Skomielna Biała tunnel section. The drawn centreline starts 2.4 km after the Lubień junction node: the sourced section lengths (7.6 + 3.1 km) place the start there, and the first kilometres from the node belong to the Lubień bypass opened in 2009, which is not drawn.

3.1 km (GDDKiA: about 3.0 km) with the 2.058 km twin-tube Luboń Mały tunnel, drilled in Carpathian flysch cut by faults. The planned 54 months ran to the end of 2020, then to autumn 2021, and neither date was met (pl.wikipedia). Gross contract value at signing 968.84 million PLN (Astaldi). About 8 km of the 15.9 km Lubień – Rabka main line is on viaducts, bridges and in the tunnel. The tunnel is recorded as a profile figure, not as a separate lot. The drawn tunnel section is 2.05 km long.

S7 Skomielna Biała – Rabka-Zdrój (Zabornia), 5.2 km, with the Skomielna Biała and Zabornia junctions. The contract signed on 31 March 2016 with Salini Impregilo, 615.07 million PLN gross, also covers the new DK47 Rabka-Zdrój – Chabówka (6.1 km in total from Skomielna Biała to Chabówka), so it is not recorded as the cost of this lot; 22 months were allowed. The S7 ends at the Zabornia junction; the Rabka-Zdrój – Chyżne section is only planned.
