Left: I wrote about this before (thanks again to Marcin Daniecki for the tip-off). Within less than three months, the new slip-road coming off ul. Puławska is ready. There's a new road sign, pointing the way to the new Centre for Education and Sport, and another sign beyond - three lanes heading south towards Piaseczno, and one turning right. Below: lane markings have been painted onto the fresh asphalt. Ready to go! 
Below: brand new junction, all road markings in place, a traffic island, and a new footpath too. I wonder whether there'll be a new bus stop on Puławska - or indeed whether any buses will detour off Puławska to serve the new centre (over 1.2km from nearest bus stop).
Below: looking towards Puławska from the new road. Pavement, lamp posts, road markings, road signs... All looks good, ready - just cut the tape, Ms Mayor! (Maria Jolanta Batycka-Wąsik, mayor of Lesznowola municipality, that is, as this is Mysiadło, just outside Warsaw)

...except that Centrum Edukacji i Sportu in Mysiadło is far from ready. It looks as though it will take a couple of years to complete, given that such a centre needs to be fitted out as well as simply being erected. This is not a simple warehouse.

I am glad that access infrastructure at least is now in place, but I question the timing. All I can assume is that there was a pot of EU money that needed to be spent in a hurry. I can think of many local road projects that are more pressing than an access road to a building which will not be ready for a long time yet.
