The updated rates apply to the 150\u2011kilometre concession section of the A2 and will be charged for each of the three 50\u2011kilometre segments as follows:<\/p>\n
The concession section between Nowy Tomy\u015bl and Konin is not subsidized by public funds. Toll rates include 23% VAT, a portion of which goes directly to the state budget.<\/p>\n
The company will also maintain a 50% discount for motorcycles on this section, aligning the rate with passenger cars on the \u015awiecko \u2013 Nowy Tomy\u015bl section, where tariffs are set by the Ministry of Infrastructure.<\/p>\n
The decision to adjust toll rates reflects an analysis of rising infrastructure maintenance costs, debt servicing obligations, and ongoing investment projects.
\nIn 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\u2011kilometre section between Pozna\u0144 Krzesiny and Pozna\u0144 Wsch\u00f3d,
\nthe modernisation of two interchanges and several bridge structures and further engineering upgrades planned for 2026.<\/p>\n
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 \u015awiecko \u2013 Konin corridor by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n
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\u2011on\u2011year, while average gross wages in the enterprise sector increased by 6.1% year\u2011on\u2011year, driving up the cost of labour, energy and materials essential for maintenance and investment activities.
\nFurthermore, GUS data for January 2026 shows a 4.0% year\u2011on\u2011year increase in construction and assembly production prices, including:<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.
\nThe 26\u2011kilometre Pozna\u0144 motorway bypass remains toll\u2011free 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\u2011quarter of its users pay tolls \u2014 primarily long\u2011distance motorists \u2014 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.
\nIn parallel, the company is developing additional driver services, including fast electronic toll collection (videotolling), motorway and expressway driving\u2011technique training, and a variety of promotional and educational initiatives. These measures support the company\u2019s long\u2011term strategy of enhancing travel quality, safety and road\u2011traffic awareness.<\/p>\n
Autostrada Wielkopolska SA and Autostrada Wielkopolska II SA are the companies responsible for the construction and operation of Poland’s longest concession motorway of 255 km, which is the largest investment under the Public-Private Partnership system in this part of Europe. The projects implemented by the two concession companies were timely completed within the budgets agreed with the public and banks, without EU subsidies and without funding from the State Treasury. The measures taken by the Companies are aimed not only at meeting concession requirements, but also at ensuring the comfort and safety of motorway users for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
