We have reported many times on the large military vehicles of the US Army damaging our roads. Residents and local government officials have repeatedly intervened in the matter. The US Consul General in Poland himself became involved in solving the problem; at his request, a meeting was organized with, among others, officials and military representatives.
The result? The Polish government is to provide funding for the construction of a bypass of Trzebień (Bolesławiec municipality) and two new bridges over the Bóbr River. The first bridge is to be built near Trzebień, and the second on the border between the Lower Silesian and Lubusz voivodeships.
This largest investment in the history of our county is to take 2.5 years and solve the problem of heavy military equipment damaging infrastructure. The cost of the project is, a mere, PLN 50 million.
Importantly, both the aforementioned bypass and the bridges will have the status of public roads and, consequently, will be available to everyone, not just the military.
