Road construction and maintenance projects continue to cause significant traffic disruptions across several border crossings in Central Europe.

In Slovakia, the total closure of the D3 motorway, including the Svrčinovec and Poľana tunnels, has been extended through August 27, 2026. This affects travelers moving between Poland and Slovakia via the Zwardoń border crossing. Motorists are being diverted through the Czech Republic or via national roads.

Simultaneously, roadwork on the I/48 highway between Kocobędy and Czech Teschen continues to cause delays at the Poland-Czech Republic border. The Czech Road and Motorway Administration (ŘSD) has indicated that surface layer replacements are expected to continue until September 8, potentially requiring detours due to lane narrowings or complete closures.

Additional regional disruptions include periodic traffic halts in Polanica-Zdrój due to asphalt laying on Kłodzka Street. Other ongoing infrastructure developments in the region include the modernization of the DK91 in Silesia and the construction of the Ostrołęka southern bypass.
