The Ministry of Infrastructure and Development (Polish: Ministerstwo Infrastruktury i Rozwoju) was a ministerial department of the government of Poland. The ministry was created in November 2013 following the merger of the Ministry of Regional Development and the Ministry of Transport, Construction and Marine Economy during the cabinet of Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The last minister responsible for the department was Andrzej Adamczyk. It was split in late 2015 into Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Infrastructure and Construction and Ministry of Development.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Development is tasked as the main coordinator for a variety of economic and infrastructural development roles. This includes Poland's national and regional development policy, managing and distributing European Union structural and cohesion funds, eliminating spatial economic disparities, and promoting social and economic cohesion among the public and the private sector. The ministry is also tasked in for managing the republic's transportation infrastructure, including motorways and expressways, national roads, the rail network, airports, and the nation's maritime transport sector. Additionally, the ministry also includes housing and construction policy within its scope.
