- € 89 million modernisation and expansion of Wrocław Airport to enable doubling of passenger capacity
- Successful completion of 40-day operational shutdown to connect new taxiways
- STRABAG demonstrates leading expertise in airport and mobility infrastructure in Poland
STRABAG has successfully completed construction works during a 40-day operational shutdown at Wrocław Airport, marking a key milestone in the largest modernisation project in the airport’s history. The closure enabled the safe connection of four new taxiways to the existing runway and the commissioning of a new navigation lighting system – all finished on schedule. This achievement paves the way for doubling the airport’s passenger capacity by the end of 2026.
Before the shutdown, STRABAG had already delivered the new PPS-3 apron for twelve aircraft, along with several taxiways, all while maintaining ongoing airport operations. The next project phase will focus on constructing and fully modernising the remaining taxiways.

Significant project scope meets high technical complexity
Worth 89 million euros and co-financed by the European Union under the CEF2 programme, the modernisation project covers more than 35 hectares and involves the construction and renewal of over five kilometres of 44-metre-wide taxiways. In total, 240,000 m² of asphalt and 110,000 m² of concrete will be installed. As an integrated solution provider across the entire construction value chain, STRABAG is also delivering extensive installations for water and wastewater systems, telecommunications, energy supply, navigation and airfield lighting.
To ensure quality and track progress, STRABAG relies on state-of-the-art technologies. Despite the scale of construction spanning 26 months in total the airport remains largely operational: by October 2025, 4.5 million passengers had already been handled – a new record following approximately four million travellers in 2024.

STRABAG: Trusted partner for Poland’s mobility infrastructure
STRABAG has already delivered several airport projects in Poland, including in Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Łódź and Poznań. With almost 7,400 employees and an output volume of approximately 1.7 billion euros in 2024, Poland is the company’s third-largest market. Thanks to its fully vertically integrated value chain and dense building materials network, STRABAG can reliably execute projects of virtually any scale and complexity.
Numerous project awards in 2025 further underline this strong position, including the modernisation around Maksymilianowo railway station, the Głogów bypass, and the transformation of a former coal mine in Katowice into a modern technology hub. In December, STRABAG was awarded the Rzeszów-Dworzysko industrial park’s infrastructure connections project worth around 62 million euros.
