Under the agreement signed on 21 November 2025, the construction of another section of the S19 express road is underway, connecting, among others, Białystok and Lublin.

Safety and comfort of travels

It includes 2 grade-separated junctions in Siemiatycze, motorway service areas, numerous engineering objects and access roads. The investment meets all of the newest requirements regarding, e.g., environmental protection.

The total value of the project equals PLN 1,464,896,209.38. The co-financing agreement from the European Funds for Infrastructure, Climate and Environment programme cover PLN 787,600,446.84.

Key connection

The S19 express road is of strategic significance – not only for eastern voivodships of Poland, but also for the entire Europe. It is another part of the Via Carpatia route: an international transport corridor, which will ultimately connect the Baltic States with ports located at the Black Sea. It is also a crucial component in terms of increasing mobility and improving safety in the region. It will also contribute to the economic growth of Podlaskie, Lubelskie and Mazowieckie Voivodships.
