The change of toll rates on the 150 km A2 stretch will become effective as of 11 September 2023. Commencing 6:00 a.m. that day, the toll rates for driving each of the three 50 km long sections between Nowy Tomy\u015bl and Konin will be as follows:<\/p>\n
The concession motorway tolls in Poland are subject to the Value Added Tax. The toll rates are inclusive of a 23% Value Added Tax. The cost of using the Autostrada Wielkopolska concession section \u015awiecko – Nowy Tomy\u015bl remains unaltered. Drivers of Category 1 vehicles pay PLN 18 for 106 km of that section.<\/p>\n
The Company has kept a 50 percent discount for category 6 (motorcycles) on the A2 Motorway section between Nowy Tomy\u015bl and Konin. In the section \u015awiecko – Nowy Tomy\u015b,l where the toll rates are established by the Ministry of Infrastructure, the toll for motorcycles is the same as for cars.<\/p>\n
The toll rates applied on the motorway between \u015awiecko and Konin reflect the actual operating costs and routine maintenance of the road, as well as the repayment of the loans and the cost of works under the multi-year investment and rehabilitation program. Trips on the concession section of the A2 motorway between \u015awiecko and Konin are not subsidized in any way by the Government, with trip costs borne by the drivers actually travelling on the motorway.<\/p>\n
According to the preliminary estimates of the Polish Office of Statistics (GUS), inflation in Poland as at August ’23 reached 10.1% year-on-year. The forecasts of the National Bank of Poland envisage the average annual inflation rate in 2023 will remain at a high level, within the range of 11.1% – 12.7%. The presently applied escalation of the toll rates on the concession section between Nowy Tomy\u015bl and Konin is lower than the current inflation rates, as it ranges between 7 % and 9%, depending on the vehicle category.<\/p>\n
Despite the growing inflation rates and costs of rehabilitation works, the Company has been timely complying with its obligations under concession and has been implementing the work program without undue delay.<\/p>\n
For many years now Autostrada Wielkopolska has been providing travelers with safe trip conditions and highest standard service. This means, in particular:<\/p>\n
Autostrada Wielkopolska continues pavement rehabilitation in the 50 km section between Nowy Tomy\u015bl and Pozna\u0144. The works will be completed as scheduled, this autumn. The completed works include, among others, pavement on the interchanges in Nowy Tomy\u015bl, Buk and at Pozna\u0144 Zach\u00f3d which connects the A2 with S5 and S11 Expressways. On top of that, the Company is rehabilitating engineering structures (bridges and overbridges) and is developing environment-friendly solutions such as replacement of lighting for more ecological systems or expanding the charging stations network. Planning and preparations are also underway for another broadening of the Pozna\u0144 bypass to include 3 lanes in the Pozna\u0144 Krzesiny – Pozna\u0144 Wsch\u00f3d section.<\/p>\n
All projects developed by Autostrada Wielkopolska are aimed at providing quality road infrastructure, drivers’ safety and traveling comfort.<\/p>\n
The entire concession section of the A2 Motorway between Nowy Tomy\u015bl and Konin is maintained by Autostrada Wielkopolska. This means that the taxpayers bear no burden on account of the motorway operation and maintenance costs. It is the drivers actually availing themselves of the service that pay for their own trips. The average daily traffic in the Nowy Tomy\u015bl – Konin section is about 30,000 vehicles. In the neighborhood of Pozna\u0144, between the outer interchanges of the Pozna\u0144 Bypass, traffic exceeds 90,000 vehicles, and on some days even 110,000 vehicles a day. It must be noted that this section of the motorway is toll-free for the users.<\/p>\n
Autostrada Wielkopolska and Autostrada Wielkopolska II are international concession companies responsible for the construction and operation of a 255 km stretch of A2 motorway from \u015awiecko to Konin which is the biggest PPP project in this part of Europe. Projects pursued by both concession companies have been timely completed within the initial budgets agreed with the public party and lenders, with no EU subsidies involved nor any financing from the Polish State Treasury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
