POLAND: A consortium of Balzola Polska and Intop Warszawa has been awarded a 158m złoty contract to build a 5·5 km tramway extension to the Jar residential district in the north of the city of Toruń.
The double-track route will run along the median of Szosa Chełmińska, ul Długa, ul Legionów, ul Polna, ul Ugory and ul Watzenrodego to a temporary reversing triangle at ul Strobanda. More than 3·6 km of the route will have grassed track.
Completion is planned by May 31 2023. A planned second phase would see the line extended to Heweliusza, where a permanent turning loop is envisaged at the future terminus.
