Civil engineering market and needs in Poland—transport infrastructure Available to Purchase

Not only is Poland the largest country in central and eastern Europe after Russia, it also stands in a commanding central position and has one of the fastest growing economies. A high-quality transport infrastructure is thus vital to its success—including its anticipated accession to the European Union within five years—and a vast amount of expenditure has been sanctioned to this end. However, progress is painfully slow and there is still a long way to go. This paper reviews the current and planned development of the country's road and rail networks and its air and seaports, which collectively represent an enormous range of opportunities for civil engineers and investors worldwide.
