Janki road works on the horizon

The General Directorate of National Roads and Highways (GDDKiA) is currently working on the Wolica-Salomea route between Magdalenka, next to the road leading to Piaseczno, and Warsaw's Ursus. The length of the new route amounts to 14.9km. The value of the construction works is zł.440 million, without the design and the plots, whose total price could reach zł.200 million.

"We already have the localization decision and the works connected with plot acquisition are being carried out at the moment. This can cause big problems because the owners might not want to sell the plots and the GDDKiA will have to call for a compulsory purchase order. The design, tender materials and finances are being worked on. We are planning to receive a building permit in September 2007. The estimated date when the works could be launched is March 2008 and the work would last 24 months at most," said Radosław Pietrak from the Warsaw office of GDDKiA.

The Wolica-Salomea route will have six two- or three-level junctions, which will link up with Aleje Jerozolimskie, the village of Opacz, the A2 junction, ul. Sokołowska, and Janki junction, which will be located at the crossroads of the route from Wrocław and Kraków. Customers will have few problems getting to the Janki shopping centers from any direction. Then a junction will be built next to the Maximus trading center near the the 721 road to Piaseczno and Grodzisk Mazowiecki, and finally another junction will be constructed in Magdalenka, next to route seven to Kraków.
