The challenge
Warsaw's roads are pushed beyond their limits. Warsaw is one of the few European capitals that still doesn't have a beltway. Europe's main east-west highway cuts right through the heart of the city. Several other international routes intersect here as well. The sharp rise in car ownership, combined with the present state of the roads, leads to complete gridlock downtown. Especially during rush hour, Warsaw gets congested. The daily traffic jams are a threat to the economic development and seriously harm the living environment.

The approach
ARCADIS provides a viable solution to Warsaw's traffic jams. ARCADIS engineers are responsible for the design of a by-pass and connections to national roads east and south of the Polish capital. Both sections are part of extensive modifications and extensions of the infrastructure around Warsaw. The Warsaw beltway will be a crucial factor in decreasing traffic flow in the heart of the city. What's more, an improved network of highways will stimulate economic development.

The result
Enhanced mobility. New roads to develop. Economic development. A livable city. A feasible contribution to Poland's growth ambitions.
