Poland: S11 expressway construction causes road closures near Kluczbork

Construction of the S11 expressway on the Gotartów to Olesna bypass section has led to the closure of a county road from the DK11 intersection toward Kujakowice Górne. Drivers are being diverted through the towns of Gotartów and Biadacz.

The project, managed by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) in Opole, involves a 46-kilometer stretch passing through the Kluczbork and Lasowice Wielkie municipalities. Current works include soil removal, reconstruction of water and power networks, and foundation work for bridge structures.

The development includes eight engineering structures, such as animal crossings, two road junctions, and two rest areas: Kluczbork Północ and Kluczbork Południe. While parts of the project are underway, other segments are currently undergoing the legal process to obtain investment permits. All three planned sections of this S11 stretch are expected to be available to motorists by 2028.
