EU promotes sustainable urban mobility by funding the extension of the Warsaw Metro

In line with the objectives of the Energy Union's low-emission mobility strategy, the European Union announced on the 9 January 2017 that it would invest over €432 million from the Cohesion Fund in the extension of the Warsaw Metro.

The €432 million investment would finance the construction of six new metro stations: "Trocka", "Targówek", "Szwedzka" on the North-East section of the line and "Księcia Janusza", "Młynów" and "Płocka" on the West section. It would also finance the construction of a technical terminal, the purchase of 13 new trains as well as preparatory works for further extension of the line.
Works are expected to be completed by November 2019.
