Transportation
Greater Poland is a major transport hub within Poland, a great deal of traffic from Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union pass through Poznań and Konin to reach Germany and other EU member states. To the south runs the international route from Gdańsk via Poznań and Leszno to Prague and then to the south of Europe. There is also a major highway being built in in the province, the A2 motorway, which when completed will run from the western border of Poland with Germany, through Poznań to Warsaw and then onwards via Belarus to Moscow.
The main railway hubs located in Greater Poland are Poznań, Piła and Ostrów Wielkopolski. PKP Intercity operate a number of trains a day between Warsaw and Berlin which provide a fast connection for the two cities also to Poznań. This route was the first in Poland, adapted for use by the European high-speed transportation system. In the near future the government expects to construct a high-speed rail line in the shape of a Y connecting Kalisz and Poznań from Łódź, Warsaw and Wrocław.
Poznań is the port of arrival for most international travellers as it is plays host to Ławica International Airport which has recently seen the second highest passenger growth rate in the country.
