Works on the A4 motorway, section Katowice-Krakow - update

We kindly inform you that the current traffic difficulties on the A4 Katowice-Krakow motorway are caused by modernization and repair works of the motorway infrastructure. The main objective of these works is to ensure an appropriate level of safety for drivers using the motorway.

Proper maintenance of the infrastructure of the A4 Katowice-Krakow motorway, e.g. carriageways and engineering structures (including bridges) results not only from the applicable regulations, but also from the provisions of the Concession Agreement, which obliges the concessionaire to hand over the motorway to the public party in 2027 in perfect technical condition, i.e. one that will not it required renovation and modernization over the following years.

RESURFACING OF THE MOTORWAY A4 Katowice-Krakow

Between the Jelen junction in Jaworzno and Balin junction in Chrzanow, on the section of approx. 7 km (from km 362.2 to 368.9), two narrowed lanes in each direction.

At present the surface of the carriageway towards Katowice is repaired:

• on the carriageway towards Katowice one lane is renovated, the other passable,
• on the carriageway towards Krakow two traffic lanes towards Krakow and one lane towards Katowice.

Speed ​​limit: 80 km/h.

Afterwards the carriageway towards Katowice will be renovated on the same section. Both carriageways of the above section will be renovated by the end of 2023.

Replacing the motorway's surface will increase its durability and load-bearing capacity and improve its anti-skid properties, thereby improving motorist safety. Surface drainage will also be improved.

In Chrzanow (km 370) on the section of 400 meters two narrowed lanes in both directions.

Resurfacing on toll plazas in Myslowice and Balice

Until 1 December 2023 one lane on each toll plaza will be modernised.

We are very sorry for traffic inconveniences. Please drive carefully.
