Change of toll rates for A2 Motorway in Nowy Tomyśl…

Autostrada Wielkopolska S.A. will introduce new toll rates on the A2 motorway between Nowy Tomyśl and Konin, effective on 11 March 2026 at 6:00 a.m.

The updated rates apply to the 150‑kilometre concession section of the A2 and will be charged for each of the three 50‑kilometre segments as follows:

20 PLN – Cat. 6 (motorcycles, 50% discount of Cat. 1 rate)
40 PLN – Cat. 1 (two-axle passenger cars)
69 PLN – Cat. 2 (two-axle vehicles with twin wheels or with trailers, including motorcycles with trailers)
105 PLN – Cat. 3 (three-axle vehicles, or two-axle vehicles with twin wheels and trailers)
160 PLN – Cat. 4 (vehicles with more than three axles, or three-axle vehicles with trailers)
400 PLN – Cat. 5 (oversized vehicles)

The concession section between Nowy Tomyśl and Konin is not subsidized by public funds. Toll rates include 23% VAT, a portion of which goes directly to the state budget.

The company will also maintain a 50% discount for motorcycles on this section, aligning the rate with passenger cars on the Świecko – Nowy Tomyśl section, where tariffs are set by the Ministry of Infrastructure.

Rationale for Toll Adjustment

The decision to adjust toll rates reflects an analysis of rising infrastructure maintenance costs, debt servicing obligations, and ongoing investment projects.
In recent months, the company has recorded a significant increase in operational expenditures, including routine and restorative maintenance works and financial service costs. At the same time, major infrastructure improvements are underway, funded entirely with private capital. These include the recently completed expansion to three lanes on a 10‑kilometre section between Poznań Krzesiny and Poznań Wschód,
the modernisation of two interchanges and several bridge structures and further engineering upgrades planned for 2026.

Autostrada Wielkopolska S.A. is also advancing work on implementing electronic toll system (videotolling) across all concession segments of the A2. Preparations are at an advanced stage, and if the schedule is maintained, drivers will be able to use this system across the entire Świecko – Konin corridor by the end of 2026.

Economic Context

According to Statistics Poland (GUS), the average annual inflation rate for 2025 was 3.6%. In January 2026, consumer inflation stood at 2.2% year‑on‑year, while average gross wages in the enterprise sector increased by 6.1% year‑on‑year, driving up the cost of labour, energy and materials essential for maintenance and investment activities.
Furthermore, GUS data for January 2026 shows a 4.0% year‑on‑year increase in construction and assembly production prices, including:

+4.4% for specialised construction work,
+3.5% for civil engineering projects, including road infrastructure.

These rising costs, combined with the scale of planned and ongoing investment projects, justify the toll adjustments and are essential to maintaining the high standard of safety and infrastructure quality offered to motorists.

Commitment to Safety and Travel Comfort

Autostrada Wielkopolska S.A. remains committed to ensuring high standards of road safety and travel comfort. The company systematically undertakes projects aimed at modernising road infrastructure and developing services for drivers, ensuring consistently high motorway performance and reliability.

Regular maintenance and modernisation efforts play a crucial role in supporting safe and smooth traffic flow. Their results are visible in the long-term stability and quality of the motorway infrastructure.
The 26‑kilometre Poznań motorway bypass remains toll‑free for users, despite the company covering all associated costs, including expansion, maintenance and the operation of three lanes in each direction. This heavily used section now carries around 100,000 vehicles per day, yet only one‑quarter of its users pay tolls — primarily long‑distance motorists — while the remaining traffic consists of vehicles entering from S11, S5 and local roads. Autostrada Wielkopolska S.A. continues to maintain this infrastructure without any public support.
In parallel, the company is developing additional driver services, including fast electronic toll collection (videotolling), motorway and expressway driving‑technique training, and a variety of promotional and educational initiatives. These measures support the company’s long‑term strategy of enhancing travel quality, safety and road‑traffic awareness.
