Construction of the S3 expressway on the Gorzów Wielkopolski – Sulechów section, forming part of the Gorzów Wielkopolski – Nowa Sól corridor, with a total length of 79.688 km in the Lubusz Voivodeship. The investment covered two sections: Gorzów Wielkopolski – Międzyrzecz (approximately 37.146 km) and Międzyrzecz Południe – Sulechów (approximately 42.954 km), divided into four tasks. The investor was the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), and the undertaking was carried out under the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment 2007–2013 (POIiŚ). The total value of the project was PLN 2,111,586,841.41, with maximum European Union co-financing of PLN 1,569,427,811.73. Construction contracts were signed in 2010–2011 (including on 23 July 2010 and 16 June 2011), and the contractors included consortia involving Mota-Engil, STRABAG and Budimex Dromex. Individual sections were brought into service in stages: the Międzyrzecz Południe – Sulechów part was opened to drivers from May to August 2013 (including on 27 May 2013, 18 June 2013, 11 July 2013 and 21 August 2013), while the Gorzów Wielkopolski – Międzyrzecz section opened on 15 May 2014, completing the whole corridor.

Significance

The Gorzów Wielkopolski – Sulechów section, 79.688 km long, brought into service between May 2013 and May 2014, connected Gorzów with Sulechów by expressway. A continuous S3 through the Lubusz Voivodeship was achieved only on 20 December 2018, after the second carriageway between the Niedoradz interchange and Nowa Sól was opened. The S3 is part of the trans-European transport corridor linking the port in Świnoujście, via Zielona Góra, with the Czech-Polish border and onward to southern Europe. The investment, worth over PLN 2.1 billion and co-financed from European Union funds under the POIiŚ, improved the connection between the Gorzów and Zielona Góra agglomerations and diverted transit traffic away from towns located along the former national road No. 3.

Every fact on this card comes from the sources below. Next to each source – which fields it supports.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. Three is normally the minimum, and this record is a documented exception: independent reporting covers its sections and stages rather than the whole the record spans, so it cannot corroborate the figures without misstating them.
