A road to nowhere - the shortcomings of the S-7 expressway in Poland
Publisher: CEE Bankwatch Network
Volume: 7 pages, pdf
Description:
The S-7 expressway is one of Poland’s main roads, running from the Baltic Sea in the North to the country’s southern border and connecting Poland’s major cities: Gdansk, Warsaw and Krakow. Planned since 2007, an investment project for a particular section of the road, between the town of Skarżysko-Kamienna and the Swiętokrzyskie–Mazowieckie region border, constitutes an abject violation of European law and environmental standards. The plans for the 8 km-long section in question include among others a junction called “Skarżysko-Północ”, where the environmental, financial, social and legal issues surrounding the planning process compound.
