Over three months ago, the national road No. 66 in Wysokie Mazowieckie was opened to traffic. Hoverer, last Friday, exactly two years after signing of the agreement, the official celebration of opening the road took place.
It might be worth mentioning that we implemented this task in a consortium with Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Drogowo-Mostowych “Trakt” Sp. z o.o. It was worth PLN 49.6 million. The entire investment covered reconstruction of approx. 4 km of the national road No. 66 and increasing the road load capacity to 11.5 tons per axle. We constructed a new seven metres wide road surface (with left turns at regular intersections). We reconstructed the existing intersections, constructed a new bridge over the Brok River, and constructed three new roundabouts.
Aside from the road reconstruction, as part of this investment, we constructed new pavements, cycling lanes, pedestrian crossings including refuge isles. We installed stone curbs and modern energy-saving streetlamps.
The ribbon cutting and the consecration of roundabouts
The ceremony began with a Holy Mass at Church of St. John the Baptist in Wysokie Mazowieckie, presided over by the Bishop of Łomża, Janusz Stepnowski. After the mass, the gathered guests met at the new roundabout joining Kościelna, 1 Maja, and Zambrowska streets.
The ceremony was attended by Secretary of State at the Ministry of Health Waldemar Kraska, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Education and Science Dariusz Piontkowski, Voivode of Podlaskie voivodeship Bohdan Paszkowski, Deputy Marshal of Podlaskie voivodship Marek Olbryś, Vice-chairman of Podlaskie Voivodeship Sejmik Łukasz Siekierko, Staroste of Wysokie Mazowieckie Bogdan Zieliński, heads and mayors of local governments in our poviat, Chairman of Wysokie Mazowieckie City Council Marek Kajurek and its councillors.
It was the same place where the official opening was held of National Road DK 66 crossing the city of Wysokie Mazowieckie. The ribbon was cut by local government officials, clergy, council members, and contractors. Next was the consecration of the cross located on the corner of 1 Maja and Kościelna Streets and, subsequently, the consecration of the roundabout of Kardynał Stefan Wyszyński and the roundabout od Paweł Tadeusz Alfred Sulatycki.
After the celebration at the road DK 66, the gathered guests went to the Odessa Hotel, where all were greeted by Mayor of Wysokie Mazowieckie Jarosław Siekierko. Next, were the multimedia presentations showing the modernisation stages of the national road DK 66 in Wysokie Mazowieckie. The investors took the floor, as well as the representatives of national and provincial authorities, the councillors of Wysokie Mazowieckie and other people involved in the investment implementation.
The Director of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways branch in Białystok Wojciech Borzuchowski praised the timely implementation of the investment: “I must say that the contractor met the implementation deadline of 22 months, as promised. The works were completed on the eve of the deadline date. The road has been adapted to heavy traffic and the bridge has been reconstructed reaching the highest load-bearing capacity.”
President of the Management Board Leszek Gołąbiecki spoke on behalf of the Unibep Group. He thanked all the organisations involved in the investment implementation for efficient their cooperation and he stressed the readiness of the company to build more roads in our region.
