The A1 Motorway has been extended. GDDKiA (General Directorate for National Roads and Highways) has opened a 4-kilometer-long section between Napoleonowo and Ochocice, on the route between Piotrków Trybunalski and Kamieńska.
The GDDKiA Directorate for National Roads and Motorways informed about the opening of another, this time 4-kilometer section of the A1 freeway. It means that the road under construction between Piotrków Trybunalski and Kamieńsk will be extended to 16 kilometers. Thus, the contractor has passed the halfway point of paving works on the eastern branch of the road.
Another 2-kilometer section of the road to the south is to be delivered in July. The last one (7 km) is scheduled for August. If there are no delays, by the end of vacations you will be able to travel along the A1 freeway from Piotrków Trybunalski to Kamiensk in 1+1 traffic mode, says Mirbud, the general contractor. Not until mid-October will it be possible to drive in both directions in two lanes.
If the plan is realized, then after 45 years of the expressway (built in 1972-1976), popularly known as “Gierkowska”, only memories will remain. On the remaining sections of the constructed A1 route in the territory of the Lodz Voivodship (64 km in total), drivers already use the concrete pavement. The length of the road section exceeds 51 kilometers. From next Friday, it will be 55 kilometers long. Construction works are still in progress on 17 kilometers of the A1 freeway in the Śląskie voivodship, between Częstochowa and the border of the Łódzkie voivodship. After their completion, the entire A1 will be fully passable.
