The start of the construction works on the new railway station is getting closer. The Polish State Railway company has signed an agreement with TriGranit Development Corporation. Under the agreement, the construction of the railway station is scheduled to commence by the end of this year and to be completed by April 2012 – by the time of the EURO 2012 European Football Championships. The cost of the investment is estimated at € 160 million.

The new railway station is said to be an Integrated Communication Centre where – apart from booking offices and waiting rooms – a shopping centre, bus station and a car park with 900 parking places will be built.

The Integrated Communication Centre will occupy a surface of 16,000 m². The Centre will have three levels: the ground level with a bus terminal for at least 12 places for buses; the higher level where a shopping centre with shops, service outlets, bars and restaurants will be created – this part is said to be profitable for the investor which would make it possible to finance the construction of the non-commercial part of the station – as well as the highest level designed for the passengers service. A new network of streets, which will allow easy access to the station,  is to be built around the Integrated Communication Centre. The extended tram line of the Poznan Fast Tram will end there as well.
