Olsztyn Główny Railway Station

Project details:

As part of the project entitled “Works on railway line No. 216 on the section Działdowo – Olsztyn”, our Company carried out two tasks — the modernisation of the track-platform system together with railway infrastructure at Olsztyn Główny station, as well as the construction of a new Olsztyn Główny railway station facility.

The main idea of the redevelopment of the station and the construction of a new railway station facility in Olsztyn was to integrate different means of transport and adapt the station building, both in terms of its scale, function, and surrounding area development, to the needs of modern passengers. The project involved the construction of a building consisting of two above-ground storeys and one underground storey with a total area of about 5.5 thousand m² and the development of more than 12 thousand m² of land adjacent to the building.

The construction work at the station entailed the modernisation and replacement of, among other things, approximately 30 km of track, 116 switches, overhead line, and railway traffic control devices. All four platforms are raised and widened, giving passengers more comfortable access to trains. New benches were installed, and timetable information is presented on displays in info kiosks and via a new sound system.

At its functional core, the main function and element of the entire station is the underground passage, which originated from the overground square connected to the transport hub at Plac Konstytucji, connecting the station building and continuing towards the platforms and the Zatorze district. Passengers reach Zientara-Malewska Street by means of stairs and a lift. The platforms and the tunnel are connected by both conventional stairs as well as escalators and lifts.

The value of both projects amounted to PLN 439.8 million excl. VAT. Moreover, the projects were co-financed with the funds of the European Union within the framework of the Polska Wschodnia [East Poland] Operational Programme.
