Construction of an 11.6 km section of the S19 expressway between Babica and Jawornik along Via Carpatia, under a design-and-build contract. The contractor is Przedsiębiorstwo Usług Technicznych Intercor and the contract is worth PLN 1.25 billion. The best-known structure is the eight-span ES-26 viaduct, 1,082 m long with piers up to 80 m, the tallest in Poland. Progress passed 80 per cent in August 2026. The completion date, originally September 2026, has moved to the fourth quarter of 2027 because of geological conditions that differed from the assumptions and bad weather.

Significance

The section completes another stretch of the S19 expressway south of Rzeszów in the international Via Carpatia corridor. The ES-26 deck sits about 120 m above the valley floor and the longest cantilever span is 188 m. The delay of more than a year is attributed to geology and weather, and the contract annexes are still being processed.

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.
