Not much new has appeared infrastructure-wise this year around Chynów; some fresh asphalt appeared around Dąbrowa Duża and Machcin, and there's a footpath between Chynów station and the village of Widok. The biggest project of 2023 around the gmina was the replacement of the road bridge over the Czarna river between Sułkowice and Ławki, south of Gabryelin. For much of the spring and summer, detours were in place, causing much local inconvenience. Although the new bridge was open to traffic earlier this autumn, something I could see from the train, today marked my first visit there on foot to record it.
Below: here it is, with the railway line beyond (between Sułkowice and Czachówek Południowy). Note the steps down to the the river level.
Below: coming off the bridge, heading east towards the road to Sułkowice. New asphalt, at least on this side of the river. I suspect the roadworks across on the other side will mean some time next spring some more connectivity for local traffic, which at the moment is condemned to dirt tracks.
Left: ulica Południowa (lit. 'South Street'), though this is not (yet) actually Ławki, which begins across the river at a point where the borders of three gminy (municipalities) touch - Chynów, Góra Kalwaria and Prażmów.

I totally agree. These tens of thousands of small infrastructure improvements made a tremendous difference to the quality of life since 1991 when I moved. Not only does it make life easier, it raises the spirits, reminding everyone that the country is moving away from shoddy communist era standards.
