The new station will feature a large entrance hall in the northern area, nine platforms on the surface and an underground access corridor to the tracks.
The scope of the work also includes the construction of large canopy covered with photovoltaic panels and a pedestrian walkway on the platforms as well as the installation of rail-traffic control systems and the rail traction network.
Scheduled for completion by 2023, the project is expected to improve the direct connection between the cities of Piaseczno and Legionowo, and between Legionowo and Chopin Airport.
