ARCADIS DESIGNS POLISH TRAFFIC SOLUTIONS

ARNHEM, The Netherlands—October 26, 2005—ARCADIS (NASDAQ: ARCAF, EURONEXT: ARCAD), the international consulting and engineering company, today announced that it has been awarded a contract for the technical design of a 19.5 km long stretch of the Southern Warsaw Beltway (SWB) in Poland. The total contract value is approximately € 10 million. The design is expected to be completed in March 2008.

The construction of the SWB is part of a more extensive adjustment and extension of the infrastructure around Warsaw. Currently, five national roads connect through Warsaw and the beltway is a crucial factor in a plan to decrease traffic flow in the city’s center. As previously announced, ARCADIS is already working on the design of another section of the Warsaw Beltway.

In addition to the design of the Warsaw Beltway, the company is also designing the Wroclaw By-pass. This 26 km long expressway will connect highway A-8 with two national roads and aims to alleviate traffic flow in the city’s center. Completion of this design is expected in May 2006, with a contract value of approximately € 3 million.

“We have seen an increase of investments in Polish infrastructure based on funding from the European Union, and these investments are aimed at upgrading the network of Polish highways as a means of stimulating economic development”, says Michel Jaski, Member of the ARCADIS Executive Board. “With a strong local presence in Poland for more than 10 years and extensive experience with infrastructure, we are pleased that ARCADIS can contribute to this process.”

ARCADIS develops, designs, implements, maintains and operates projects for companies and governments. With more than 10,000 employees and over €1 billion in gross revenue, the company has an extensive international network that is supported by strong local market positions.
