Via Baltica photo update - New imminent damage to Knyszyn Forest Natura 2000 site
Publisher: CEE Bankwatch Network
Volume: 6 pages, pdf
Description:
A Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Via Baltica was approved over a year ago. This report recommends that the Via Baltica should be routed to the west via Lomza, NOT via Białystok (along road no. 8/S‐8). However, the Polish Government has still not taken any official step to change the route and start planning the expressway along “new” route. Moreover, damaging road projects along the “old” (road no. 8/S‐8) route are still advancing and about to start within the boundaries of EU‐protected Knyszyn Primeval Forest.
