As a provincial self-government, we have provided the necessary documents to take over the line with each of the state railways enterprises. In order to hand over the line to the local government in Lower Silesia, the PKP PLK and PKP SA must solve the official and legal problems between them, and then the approval for the line’s handover to the local government must be issued by the Minister of Infrastructure – stated in the statement.

We expect this to happen in the near future, which we strive to achieve. At the same time, we are already ready to take over the management of line 283 from PKP PLK under certain conditions in order to start preparing it for activation – said Przybylski, quoted in the press release.

The picturesque bridge is part of this railroad and was built in 1905-1906. After the intervention of the governor of antiquities, the bridge was entered into the list of protected objects.
