Directions of Development of Eastern Poland’s Transport Infrastructure by the Example of the Lublin Province

The paper refers to present the results of research carried out at the Motor Transport Institute in Warsaw on the direction of transport infrastructure development in the Eastern Poland and the EU, in the Lublin province, in the aspect of management and organization. The analysis carried out led to the forecasts how this development will affect the transport system of the region and the country. The article also presents the results of research on the economic calculation of postulated changes and transport investments being carried out in the Lublin province. Based on the economic calculation and the analysis carried out, the authors prepared appropriate conclusions and recommendations. We claim that competitiveness and development of the Lublin province will be greater with the development of modern road infrastructure, in the form of the A2 motorway along the section Siedlce—border of Poland in Kukuryki, as well as other expressways (S17, S19 or S12). The economic effect of these road investments will soon return and is associated with serving heavy freight traffic in transit through Poland.
