# Poland expands pedestrian‑cyclist infrastructure > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/poland-expands-pedestriancyclist-infrastructure > Updated: 2026-08-04T10:06:37.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. In late July 2026, a 154‑metre pedestrian and cyclist bridge over the Warta river was opened, linking Poznań with the neighboring Gmina Czerwonak. Funded largely by the European Union, the bridge is part of a broader programme to create a greener, more connected metropolitan network of walking and cycling routes. A week later, Warsaw began a series of works on the Siekierkowski Bridge that narrowed traffic lanes and added speed limits, causing commuter delays. Simultaneously, a new pedestrian and bicycle crossing opened at the intersection of Marszałkowska and Sienkiewicza streets, aimed at improving safety and reducing car traffic. Both projects illustrate a coordinated effort across Polish cities to expand safe, non‑motorised transport infrastructure and lower emissions. Together, the openings in Poznań and Warsaw demonstrate an ongoing national push, supported by EU co‑financing, to develop pedestrian‑friendly and cyclist‑friendly facilities as part of Poland’s sustainable mobility strategy. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-04: Warsaw traffic disruptions and new pedestrian crossing as bridge works continue Warsaw narrows Siekierkowski Bridge lanes, adding delays, while a new pedestrian‑bike crossing opens at Marszałkowska‑Sienkiewicza to improve city mobility. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/warsaw-traffic-disruptions-and-new-pedestrian-crossing-as-bridge-works-continue ### 2026-07-28: Poznań–Czerwonak pedestrian and cyclist bridge opens over the Warta A 154‑m pedestrian‑cyclist bridge over the Warta river linking Poznań and Czerwonak opened, costing 14.2 million zł with 70 % EU funding, enhancing regional mobility and recreation. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/poznaczerwonak-pedestrian-and-cyclist-bridge-opens-over-the-warta --- Cite as: Poland expands pedestrian‑cyclist infrastructure.
