ARCADIS, as a leader of a consortium, has been awarded the contract for the supervision and project management of the modernization of a 60 km long section of the railway from Skierniewice to Lodz, in Central Poland. The total construction sum for the project will be approximately € 220 million. ARCADIS' fees will amount to € 3 million.

The project is part of the 127 km railway line between Warsaw and Lodz, two Polish urban areas with more than 3 million inhabitants. Modernization of the railway will enable increased speed for passenger trains to 140-160 km/h. A strong emphasis will be put on safety and the elimination of noise and vibrations. The project is to be completed in July 2008.
