It's been over three months since I last posted any new photos from the S7 extension works. I'm surprised at how much has been achieved in that time. It's just over a year and half since work began, there's still much to be done, but the big question is about section B (between Lesznowola, where the section going through Jeziorki ends, and the already-open section A at Tarczyn Połnoc).
Below: my first foray onto the viaduct spanning the S7, looking south towards Lesznowola. In the distance the footbridge where the old ulica Dawidowska ran. There are still no ramps onto the footbridge.
I consult the internet. Back in 2014, there was an article in Halo Ursynów about a new road planned to link the village of Janczewice, Dawidy and Mysiadło. The maps there pre-date the final master plan for the S7 extension, and show the new road heading off at a northerly tangent to the alignment seen in the photo above. The way the actual road is pointing suggests it will cross the railway line (just beyond the trees on the horizon) and proceed along ul. Dawidowska (currently an unasphalted track that only gives access to local residents), crossing ul. Karczunkowska, then heading south into Mysiadło before swinging east to join ul. Puławska. The question is when - will this stretch of dual carriageway just sit here, completed but leading nowhere, for decades? That's my guess - and my hope. Building viaducts is expensive and time consuming. I have marked the possible route in yellow. Not good news for locals.

In other news, this morning there was a speed trap on Karczunkowska. First time I have ever seen one!
I've seen a few - the patrol car is usually parked outside the garden centre. There's an increased volume of traffic caused by the closure of the southern section of ul. Postępu, I guess ul. Krasickiego is getting hammered too. That section (all the way down to Bobrowiec!) will take months to do up.
In the meanwhile - NAIL SOME SENSE INTO THE SPEEDING MOTORISTS! Until there's a pavement along the entire length of Karczunkowska, any driver going over 50km/h, night or day, is a hazard to pedestrians.
At least Szkolna is now open to Lesznowola. Meanwhile the speeds on Gogolinska are something too!
