Why It Matters
Road and tram works are being carried out in Warsaw related to the replacement of the surface and tram infrastructure.
New surface on Towarowa Street at Plac Zawiszy
From Friday from 10 p.m. to Monday until 4 a.m., road workers will be replacing the surface on the left lanes of Towarowa Street near Zawiszy Square. During this time, the lanes next to the tracks will be closed on both Towarowa carriageways, between Plac Zawiszy and Zawrotka.
Drivers will only be able to drive through one lane in each direction. The recommended detours will lead through Prosta Street, Aleja Jana Pawła II and Aleja Niepodległości to Wawelska Street. The right lanes are planned to be asphalted next weekend.
A weekend without trams on Słomińskiego Street
On Saturday and Sunday, Tramwaje Warszawskie teams will replace two switches at the Rondo Zgrupowania AK "Radosław" stop. During this time, trams will not run on Słomińskiego Street on the section from Rondo Zgrupowania AK "Radosław" to Międzyparkowa.
Lines 1 and 28 will detour through Aleja Jana Pawła II, Stawki and Międzyparkowa streets, while all routes of line 16 will end at Muranowska.
In turn, on the route Rondo Zgrupowania AK "Radosław" - Trocka metro station, buses of the replacement line Z-5 will run. Two additional tram lines will also be launched: 71 (Plac Narutowicza - Metro Marymont) and 76 (Annopol - Miasteczko Wilanów).
Asphalting on Jagiellońska Street - only one direction of traffic
On Monday, from 7:00 a.m., the laying of a new surface on Jagiellońska Street will begin, after the reconstruction of the heating main.
Work at this location will last until Monday, October 26. During this time, half of the Jagiellońska road will be closed on the section from Marcinkowski to the Jagiellońska 17 building.
Traffic will only be possible towards Okrzeja. Kępna Street from Targowa will lose its connection with Jagiellońska. Buses from line 135 towards the Olszynka Grochowska PKP terminus will continue to use Targowa.
Difficulties for drivers and passengers
Due to the planned works, both drivers and passengers of public transport must expect difficulties.
Before leaving, it is worth following current announcements and planning your trip in advance to avoid traffic jams and delays.
Open Questions
- Will the works on Towarowa be completed as planned?
- How long will the detours for tram lines 1, 28 and 16 be in force?
