E-470 Public Highway Authority (E-470) has awarded a five-year contract to intelligent transport systems provider Kapsch TrafficCom to supply 6C toll tags for ExpressToll account holders in Colorado, US.

The toll tags can be used by account holders for the current all-electronic toll (AET) collection system on the E-470 highway, as well as with other toll facilities across the state.

A loan of €325m ($373.7m) has been sanctioned by the European Investment Bank (EIB) for the development of three separate sections of S7 and S8 expressways in Masovian Voivodship, Poland.

The loan will be used to develop a total length of 110km including two sections of a dual-carriage expressway on S8 between Wyszków and the border of the Masovian Voivodship, as well as a 71km dual carriage expressway between Napierki and Plonsk.

"The project is intended to cut traffic congestion on the expressways."
