Going big: Europe is building a $34BN transport mega-hub
This will be one of the largest transport hubs anywhere on the planet. Costing a whopping $34 billion, Poland's Central Communications Port (CPK) will become a key cog connecting Central, Eastern and Western Europe.
While it looks impressive, combining air, roads and rail galore, it's a lot more than just a port. CPK will feature Poland's largest high-speed rail network stretching across the nation and linking to its bordering neighbours. But the project is far from straightforward - the complexity of the design, combined with a planned opening date of 2032 means engineers and architects are up against the clock in the race to create Europe's newest transport mega-hub.
