By 2025, drivers in Poland will be able to enjoy faster and more comfortable journeys thanks to newly built roads! The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) plans to open 400 km of new roads to traffic. This significant investment will not only shorten travel times but also reduce traffic congestion in many regions of the country.
Modernizing Polish roads – what will change in 2025?
The A2 motorway will be extended by over 67 km, connecting Biała Podlaska with Warsaw and integrating it into the national and European high-speed road network. This project includes four sections between the Siedlce Południe and Biała Podlaska interchanges in the Lubelskie Voivodeship.
Another major step forward is the completion of three segments of the S1 expressway in the Śląskie Voivodeship, totaling more than 36 km. These sections will improve access from Katowice to Bielsko-Biała (including the stretches between the Oświęcim and Bielsko-Biała Hałcnów interchanges) and enhance connections to the Polish-Slovak border crossing in Zwardoń. As part of this investment, the Przybędza-Milówka section will also open, featuring two tunnels drilled through the Barania Góra massif.
In northern Poland, drivers will benefit from two new sections of the S3 expressway, with a combined length of 33 km. This route will provide an express connection from Szczecin to Świnoujście, including a tunnel under the Świna River, completing the corridor from Świnoujście to the Czech border at Lubawka. Additionally, drivers in the Pomerania region will gain access to the S6 expressway between Koszalin and Słupsk, as well as the second carriageway of the Słupsk bypass.
Investments will also include 42 km of the S7 expressway, such as the Tricity Metropolitan Bypass and the Modlin-Czosnów section in Mazowieckie Voivodeship. Meanwhile, 34 km of the S19 expressway will be constructed in Podlaskie Voivodeship. Residents of towns like Opatów, Suchowola, Strzelce Krajeńskie, and Wąchock will finally see relief from heavy transit traffic thanks to new bypasses.
