Time to issue another commemorative stamp, marking the second anniversary of the closure of the level crossing on ul. Karczunkowska. The temporary crossing, south of W-wa Jeziorki's 'up' platform is also formally closed (though locals know you can get through in the evenings when the construction crews have finished work and all day at the weekends).
The ramps on either side of the bridge have been raised at a quick tempo (it's 60 days since work on this stage began in earnest), though promises that all will be ready by the end of September is a chimera, a fata morgana, a will o'the wisp, a fantasy. There is a chance of a first layer of asphalt being laid next month, but that's when the fiddly work starts I expect to have another commemorative stamp bearing the image of a nearly-complete viaduct with barriers at either ends preventing cars from using it. Four level-access lifts are required; signing off the paperwork for these takes ages too.
