Implementation details

In the 1960s, trams were the main means of communication in the capital of Warmia, although their routes ran mainly around the center and allowed for movement in a relatively small are of the city. Half a century later, the growing demand for public transport prompted the authorities of Olsztyn to expand the existing rail transport system with a new tram line connecting the Jaroty district with the High Gate Transfer Junction.

ELDRO participated in this undertaing as a contractor of traffic lights projects along Piłsudskiego, Wyszyńskiego, Synów Pułku, Krasickiego and Wilczyńskiego Streets – up to the Pieczewo housing estate. These projects were implemented in accordance with the Ordering Party’s guidelines and the specificity of the ITS – SCATS system operating in the city.

The tasks of our engineers included, among others:

development of road traffic engineering projects
cooperation with other contractors and subcontractors of tram tracks
reconciliation of documentation with the Police and Road Administration in Olsztyn
