Infrastructure

Situated in the centre of Europe, Wrocław is easily accessed by road, rail, air and water. Additionally, the Lower Silesian region has the densest road and railway networks in Poland, which has promoted the dynamic progress of the region. These networks are well connected with existing pan-European motor and railway systems. A key priority for Wrocław and Lower Silesia over the next decade is to improve the quality of the road network to ensure continued strong economic growth and the development of tourism in the region.

Roads

The city's excellent communication junctions along with the international transport network are a natural consequence of many international transport routes running across Wrocław, including the so called "3rd Pan-European Transport Corridor." Three major Wrocław bypass routes are slated for completion in the next three to five years: the Wrocław Bypass, the Inner Wrocław Ring Road and the County Bypass.

Railway Connections

The following communication routes pass through Wrocław:

· E-30 Leipzig-Dresden-Wrocław-Cracow-Lvov-Kiev
· E-9 Ystad-Świnoujście-Szczecin-Poznań-Wrocław-Katowice-

Bratislava-Vienna
· C-E-59 Szczecin (Berlin)-Zielona Góra-Wrocław-Prague
· Three lines of national importance, directions: Łódź-Warsaw,
Jelenia Góra and Opole

Air Transport

The Wrocław International Airport has grown signiﬁcantly over the last decade and continues to expand its services for business and tourist travelers.

Telecommunication

The expansion of the telecommunication and IT sector in Wrocław is particularly dynamic. Investments carried out since the 1990s in the ﬁberoptic networks and digital teletransmission systems brought both the scope and standard of voice and data transmission services provided by the main telecommunication operators to the level of the most affluent West European countries. Initially, IT networks covered higher education and scientiﬁc institutions; subsequently they reached the private sector starting from banks, through service companies to manufacturing enterprises. Currently most small and medium sized businesses utilize Internet access and internal LAN. Recent years have also witnessed the development of telecommunication systems in government and municipal institutions, which also communicate extensively via Internet.

Waterway

The Odra River today is no longer a symbol of a divided Europe. This major waterway links Lower Silesia to the Baltic Sea and the dense European inland waterways system via Berlin. Barges ﬁlled with transport containers and even passenger cruise ships carrying tourists from Western Europe to Wroclaw are becoming increasingly common sights along the river.
