Regular readers will have read about the manifold construction projects going on in Warsaw right now. The biggest in Warsaw's Deep South is the so-called 'Elka' - the 'L' shaped expressway (S79 down from Sasanki to the S2 Berlin to Moscow route). Crossing the Elka will be two new bridges; both now span the unfinished expressway, neither are fully open.
Above: the bridge connecting ul. Cybernetyki with ul. 17 Stycznia. The westbound lane is now open to traffic; I'm crossing it eastbound on my bicycle on the closed-off hard shoulder. The bridge will be finally completed when a land dispute with the factory in the background is settled.
Above: and finally - I cross the S2 on the new viaduct carrying ul. Poloneza over it. One day soon I don't know when you can point your car down that asphalt and drive all the way to the Belarusian border non-stop along an expressway or motorway.
Above: ul. Poloneza - the ramp coming down from the bridge. It's still not complete - it needs to be raised another half a metre or so to match up to the road surface atop the bridge.

Happy Easter to you and your family, my dear author of the blog W-wa Jeziorki. :-)
ReplyDeletePlease enjoy beauty of the tapestry "The Ressurection of Christ" which I could see and admire when I was in Rome in 2008.
I love how you describe our beloved Warsaw. Thanks for everything; for your words and your photos.
Be well.
