On Tuesday, ZDM presented this year's “80+” program. This number refers to the list of tasks planned for a long weekend and the whole holiday. During their presentation, the director of ZDM Łukasz Puchalski announced that in 2025 road workers could boast of large savings. – We are very pleased with decisions in the tender procedures that are behind us – he said during a meeting with journalists. – We have several million savings on each tender. In total, PLN 30 million was collected – he concluded.
– There is also the second source from which money returns to us – said the director of ZDM, reminding about the exchange of luminaires in street lighting to energy -saving in recent years. He reported that the investment pays in the form of savings of PLN 20 million a year. – We can use this money for other purposes – he noted.
Puchalski said that thanks to saved money, subsequent tenders for investments planned for the third and fourth quarters of the year are launched. – the moment to invest is very good and we want to use it as much as possible, though Coordination is a big problem due to the activity of Warsaw trams. We cannot apply one work to the other – said Puchalski.

Earlier they started preparations for the season
This year, road workers could earlier began preparations for summer renovations, thanks to the funds awarded to them by the Warsaw Council at the end of last year. – We have introduced significantly larger funds for this budget year, both in terms of tram repairs as well as maintenance and development works – pointed out Vice President Tomasz Mencina, responsible for the capital's roads and investments.
– This allowed to carry out all tender procedures effectively and save money. We shot ourselves in a good atmosphere for ordering entities. It seems that there were fewer works on the market, so there were more international contractors such as Strabag, Skanska or Balzola, interested in smaller robots – explained the vice president.
He announced that this model of preparation for summer renovations will be continued next year.
From the beginning of the season, road workers have been carried out several weekend milling machines (including Wisłostrada, Sosnkowski, Wóycicki). – June was difficult for us. Marches, elections, rallies. We had a pause in work for three weeks. Until now, six streets have already been renovated, completely rebuilding Jan Kazimierza Street, the greenery at Świętojerska and Central Square enjoys the eye – calculated Puchalski.
