More than PLN 1.4 billion for the modernization of the Warsaw-Otwock line
The conclusion of the funding agreement was announced at a press conference held on January 29, 2026, at the Warsaw Falenica railroad station. The event was attended by representatives of the government, local government, PKP PLK and CEUTP.
– This is one of the most important railroad investments in Poland. In addition to Rail Baltica, this stage of reconstruction of the line between Warsaw and Lublin and further to Dorohusk, is the largest project not only in Poland, but in this part of Europe. The modernization of the Warsaw Wawer – Otwock section is supported by PLN 1.4 billion from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate, Environment program. This is another such project in the Warsaw area, after the reconstruction of the Warszawa Zachodnia station, which we are implementing,” Jan Szyszko, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy.
– Dzisiejszy dzień to ważny moment dla wszystkich pasażerów korzystających z połączeń między Otwockiem a Warszawą. Modernizacja linii otwockiej oznacza nie tylko budowę nowych przystanków i zwiększenie przepustowości, lecz przede wszystkim stworzenie dostępnej, wygodnej i przewidywalnej kolei dla mieszkańców regionu. Dzięki tej inwestycji kolej stanie się naturalnym wyborem dla osób dojeżdżających do pracy i szkoły. Przed nami okres intensywnych prac, który może wiązać się z pewnymi utrudnieniami, ale efekty będą odczuwalne przez lata – i warto na nie poczekać — Piotr Malepszak, podsekretarz stanu w Ministerstwie Infrastruktury.
– The investment will bring a real improvement in the quality of travel for thousands of residents of the Warsaw agglomeration and will strengthen long-distance connections of national importance. A modern, safe and accessible railroad is an investment for decades to come,” Sylwia Cieślak-Wilk, deputy director of the Centre for EU Transport Projects.
– Stabilne finansowanie przedsięwzięcia ze środków Unii Europejskiej daje nam możliwość realizowania dużych projektów infrastrukturalnych. Linia otwocka to tylko jeden z nich. Rozbudowa i modernizacja połączenia Otwocka ze stolicą to kluczowe zadanie dla poprawy warunków podróżowania w obrębie Warszawskiego Węzła Kolejowego – Piotr Wyborski, prezes zarządu PKP Polskich Linii Kolejowych S.A.
