A2 and A4 motorway infrastructure expansion in Poland
Overview
Traffic volume on the A4 motorway in the Opole Voivodeship has seen significant increases, with some sections averaging over 43,000 vehicles per day. Specifically, the segment between the Strzelce Opolskie and Łany junctions recorded an average of 48,039 vehicles daily. In the Katowice to Kraków section, two new service areas, Rudno and Grojec, have opened following a 60 million PLN investment. To manage traffic levels exceeding 50,000 vehicles per day, the Generalna Dyrekcja Dróg Krajowych i Autostrad (GDDKiA) has moved forward with expansion plans. A 17.3 million PLN contract has been signed with Autostrada II to design a third lane for a 24-kilometer stretch between Dulowa and Balice I. This follows the planned expiration of the concession agreement with Stalexport Autostrada Małopolska on March 15, 2027, at which point the state will take over management and passenger car travel will become free of charge. Parallel infrastructure developments are occurring on the A2 motorway. GDDKiA has commenced preparations for the expansion of a 92-kilometer stretch between Łódź and Warsaw, which involves 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 this initial phase, the left lane on both carriageways will be closed, requiring 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 ensure safety, a speed limit of 70 km/h will be enforced across the entire construction zone. GDDKiA is also implementing section speed control systems (OPP) measuring speeds over stretches of 30 km and 48 km.
