A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway: Changes in traffic rules at the Brzęczkowice junction

On 22 May this year, new traffic organisation changes will be introduced at the Brzęczkowice junction in Mysłowice, due to the renovation of the bridge and the junction surface.  They will affect drivers travelling from Katowice towards Tychy, Bielsko-Biała and Cieszyn. 

On Thursday, 18 May, the exit from the S1 road onto the A4 motorway was opened for drivers travelling from Łódź towards Katowice.  Thus, the renovation works at the Brzęczkowice junction enter the next stage - from 22 May, the exit from the A4 motorway onto the S1 road will be closed for drivers travelling from Katowice towards Tychy, Bielsko-Biała and Cieszyn. A diversion route will be led via the Katowice-Łódź slip road and then through the Sosnowiec-Jęzor junction (near Designer Outlet), from where it will be possible to return to the S1 road towards Cieszyn. 

The exit from the A4 motorway onto the S1 towards Cieszyn will be opened around 15 June 2023. 15 June 2023

The repairs on the Brzęczkowice bridge are also accompanied by the following changes and signage informing of the new traffic rules:

• there are two narrowed lanes with a speed limit of 60 km/h on the carriageway towards Kraków, under the bridge. A "STOP" sign has been placed on the slip road of the Łódź-Kraków junction (merging traffic from the S1 to the A4 motorway),
• there are two narrowed lanes with a speed limit of 60 km/h on the carriageway towards Katowice, under the bridge. A "STOP" sign has been placed on the slip road of the Cieszyn-Katowice junction (merging traffic from the S1 to the A4 motorway),
• there are two narrowed lanes with a speed limit of 60 km/h on the S1 road's carriageway towards Łódź, near the area of the bridge over the A4 motorway.
