In brief

• On the section of Nowohucka Street from Podgórze towards Most Nowohucki, from 7 to 15 November only one lane will be open.
• The disruptions result from the construction of a turnaround lane towards Stoczniowców Street.
• The current stage covers rainwater sewage and laying about 30 metres of pipes, and the work is complicated by dense underground infrastructure.

Which sections are affected

The disruptions will affect the section of Nowohucka Street in Kraków running from the junction with Saska and Stoczniowców Streets towards Most Nowohucki (Utrudnienia na Nowohuckiej w Krakowie. Zmiany od soboty – RMF24). The right lane just before the junction with Koszykarska Street will be closed to traffic, so only the left lane will remain open (Przygotowanie do dużych zmian na Nowohuckiej. „To czasochłonne prace” – krknews.pl). Drivers travelling in the opposite direction currently have no changes to traffic organisation.

From when and for how long

The traffic arrangement will take effect on Saturday, 7 November, and will last until 15 November.

Why the work will take more than a week

The contractor is building an additional lane for turning back towards Stoczniowców Street.

The Kraków Road Department (Zarząd Dróg Miasta Krakowa) notes that the work here is particularly time-consuming. Power, fibre-optic and power supply cables for the traffic lights run through the excavation area, so these installations must first be precisely located and then uncovered by hand.

Appeal to drivers

The Road Department asks drivers to be careful on this section and to consider choosing other routes while the work is underway.
