Rondo Wiatraczna roadworks resume this weekend
Rondo Wiatraczna roadworks resume on 5 Sept; expect lane closures, detours and bus route changes. Rondo Wiatraczna roadworks affect drivers and commuters.
Rondo Wiatraczna roadworks resume on Saturday, 5 September at 07:00. Consequently, crews will close the left and middle lanes and replace curbs and pavement until mid-September.
What Rondo Wiatraczna roadworks mean for drivers
Workers will block specific lanes on the roundabout. Therefore, drivers will follow detours and narrower lanes. Moreover, the straight passage from Wiatraczna over the tram tracks will not operate. In addition, traffic from Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych toward Grochowska and Targowa will face restrictions. Consequently, Wiatraczna street between Zakole and the roundabout will run as a single lane. However, exit from Wiatraczna will allow right turns only, toward Targowa. Drivers should use Grenadierów, Podskarbińska and Dwernickiego to reach Wiatraczna. Moreover, traffic from Marsa should take Ostrobramska and Grenadierów to reach Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych and Aleja Waszyngtona. In addition, entry to the roundabout from Grochowska, Aleja Waszyngtona and Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych will operate on one lane. Therefore, vehicles from Grochowska after Modrzewiowa can turn back to Podskarbińska. Meanwhile, Zakole will stay open because work will occur off the carriageway.
Bus route changes and public transport impact
Public transport will follow temporary routes during the works. Consequently, line 123 heading to Dworca Wschodniego, and lines 142, 145, 183, 521, 702, 704, 720, 722 and 730 toward the Wiatraczna loop will use Grochowska and Międzyborska. In addition, these buses will enter the roundabout from Aleja Waszyngtona. Moreover, line 141 toward P+R Al. Krakowska and 143 to Pomnik Lotnika will use Zamieniecka and Ostrobramska. Therefore, line 148 toward Wiatraczna will run via Ostrobramska, Grenadierów and Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych. In addition, line 173 to Stara Miłosna will use Podskarbińska, Międzyborska and Aleja Waszyngtona. Meanwhile, lines 188 and 523 will use Grenadierów, Podskarbińska and Dwernickiego one way, and the reverse route back via Międzyborska and Aleja Waszyngtona. Therefore, night and regional services such as 125 and N03 will use Międzyborska and Aleja Waszyngtona. In addition, 521 and N24 toward Dworca Centralnego will use Grochowska and Międzyborska.
Timeline, next steps and local context
Contractors plan to finish this stage by mid-September. Consequently, crews will then close the right lanes on the roundabout. Moreover, Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych will narrow near Grenadierów. In addition, contractors will resurface Aleje Stanów Zjednoczonych and add pedestrian refuge islands. Therefore, the city expects to complete all works in autumn. Moreover, these works aim to improve safety and smooth traffic flows near a busy transport hub. In addition, workers will coordinate with the transit operator to limit disruptions during peak hours.
