From Monday, new difficulties on Zakopane

On Monday around noon, the left turn from Zakopianka to Świetlista Street in Libertów (Lesser Poland Voivodeship) will be closed.

This is the first stage of works related to the expansion of the road system in this town.

We are starting the reconstruction of Świetlista Street in Libertów and therefore we will close the left turn from Zakopianka to this street. This means that when driving from Krakow, you will no longer be able to turn from Zakopianka into Świetlista Street. And all this is part of the work related to the expansion of the road system in Libertów - says Kacper Michna from the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways.

Detours and changes for drivers

Drivers coming from Krakow who previously used the left turn onto Świetlista Street will have to choose other routes. Access to this street will be possible via Poronińska, Opatkowicka or the junction in Gaj.

It is worth planning your trip in advance to avoid unnecessary delays.

Due to the works carried out, the location of the Libertów Świetlista and Libertów Góra Libertowska bus stops will also change. New bus stopping places will be designated for the duration of the investment.

Tunnel under Zakopianka and a new roundabout

The reconstruction of Świetlista Street is only part of a larger project, which also includes the construction of a tunnel under Zakopianka. The new tunnel is to connect both parts of Libertów, which will significantly improve communication in this area in the future. Completion of all works is planned for the middle of next year.

The entire investment in Libertów will cost almost PLN 150 million.
