Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki asserted on social media that the government of Law and Justice is keeping its promises and striving to upgrade infrastructure to resemble that of Europe’s wealthiest nations. He highlighted a commitment to provide free highways for Polish drivers as soon as possible, framing it as another milestone for the administration.
Promises of law and justice
The prime minister accompanied his post with a chart illustrating which European Union countries charge motorists for using motorways, offer free access, or apply partial tolls. The graphic indicates that motorways are free in Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Cyprus, with Poland anticipated to join this list in the near term.
Roads with partial tolls are currently found in Germany and Sweden. In these countries a traveler may encounter tolls on some tunnels or bridges during a car journey.
The government of Law and Justice reinforces its pledge to elevate infrastructure to European levels, reiterating that free highways for Polish drivers is a priority that the administration aims to implement promptly.
wrote the prime minister.
Free highways from July 1?
Infrastructure Minister Andrzej Adamczyk recently indicated that free highways could start on July 1, contingent on whether the Senate approves amendments to eliminate tolls on tolled sections of state-owned highways.
Beginning July 1, travel could be free on the A4 corridor from Wrocław toward Gliwice, a toll segment managed by the state, as well as on the A2 corridor in Greater Poland toward the western border. This hinges on Senate action to expedite consideration of the Sejm-approved bill, which passed with broad support. Delegates from nearly all parties voted in favor, with the exception of the Confederation, which submitted amendments that are hoped to be rejected in the Senate so Poles can use these two stretches without tolls starting July.
– said Adamczyk on Polsat News.
