The E-70 runs through several Polish towns, located on the territories of the Pomorskie (Pomerania), Kujawsko-Pomorskie, Wielkopolskie (Greater Poland) and Lubuskie regions. The boards of these regions agreed on a common revitalisation project of the E-70, which is intended to restore the full navigability of the waterway, as well as to create the possibility of its usage for tourist navigation and for goods transport.
