Modernisation of railway line no. 12, known as the eSeŁka, under two contracts of PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe. The first covers about 64 km between Skierniewice and Czachówek Wschodni. The contractor is the Trakcja and Sarinż consortium, and the contract is worth PLN 1,199 million net (PLN 1,475 million gross). The second covers about 32 km between Czachówek Wschodni and Pilawa, with a new double-track bridge over the Vistula at Góra Kalwaria, 630.5 m long. The contract for that section, worth PLN 1.3 billion, was signed on 6 July 2026 with a consortium of INTOP Infrastruktura, INTOP, Trakcja and WKS Grybów. The two contracts together are worth about PLN 2.7 billion. Works on the first section are due to start in August 2026 and run until December 2029.

Significance

After modernisation, passenger and freight trains are to run at up to 120 km/h. Passenger services are to return along the whole section, because today mainly freight trains use the route. The line from Skierniewice to Łuków is a freight bypass of Warsaw and will handle longer and heavier trains once rebuilt. The new bridge at Góra Kalwaria will replace the current single-track crossing.

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. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.
