Olsztyn is located in northeastern Poland. With almost 200.000 inhabitants is being chosen as one the main tourist directions in the country. It was necessary to reduce the traffic in the city by directing it to the outskirts. AECOM was appointed to design the Olsztyn bypass. Olsztyn is located in the north-east part of Poland. The design of 14,7 km section will be delivered in the “design & build” formula. This is not the first design & build cooperation between AECOM and the general contractor – Budimex.

The road section will have 3 road junctions and 18 bridges over it. It will become a part of S11 expressway connecting northern and southern Poland.
