A2 motorway expansion begins between Łódź and Warsaw
The Generalna Dyrekcja Dróg Krajowych i Autostrad (GDDKiA) has commenced preparations for a major expansion of the A2 motorway on a 92-kilometer stretch between Łódź and Warsaw. The project aims to increase capacity by adding a third lane in each direction.
Construction activities began in early November with the installation of vertical and horizontal signage between the Łowicz and Pruszków junctions. As part of the initial phase, the left lane on both carriageways will be closed, forcing traffic to use the right and emergency lanes. Concrete barriers will be installed, primarily during night hours, to separate traffic from the construction site.
To manage safety during the works, a speed limit of 70 km/h will be enforced across the entire construction zone. GDDKiA is also implementing two significant section speed control systems (OPP), measuring speeds over stretches of 30 km and 48 km respectively.
The expansion is being carried out in stages, with the first completed sections, including the stretch from the Łowicz junction to the provincial border and between Grodzisk Mazowiecki and Konotopa, expected by late 2027. The full project is scheduled for completion by April 2028.
