Modernisation works on the A4 motorway, section Katowice-Krakow - update

With user safety in mind, modernisation works are currently underway on the A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway. The company is making every effort to ensure that these works do not significantly affect the capacity of the route, maintaining two lanes in each direction.

SURFACE REPLACEMENT

1) road surface in the direction of Kraków on the section between the toll plaza in Mysłowice and the Jeleń junction in Imielin from km 354 to km 359:

• one lane open on the carriageway towards Kraków,
• on the carriageway towards Katowice there are two lanes for travellers towards Katowice and one lane for travellers towards Kraków (both directions are separated by a special barrier).

2) the carriageway at the toll plaza in Balice – works are being carried out on both carriageways (directions) with only one toll lane closed in each direction.

BRIDGE RENOVATION

The overpass in Chrzanów between the Balin junction and the Chrzanów junction (km 370) is undergoing renovation:

• the carriageway to Katowice is closed for a section of approx. 400 m,
• on the carriageway to Kraków, for a section of approx. 400 m, there are 2 narrowed lanes in the direction of Katowice and 2 narrowed lanes in the direction of Kraków (both directions are separated by a special barrier).

The completion of the above-mentioned renovation is planned for October 2025.

Proper maintenance of the infrastructure of the A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway, including the road surface and engineering structures (including bridges and viaducts), is required not only by applicable regulations, but also by the provisions of the Concession Agreement, which obliges the concessionaire to hand over the motorway to the public sector in 2027 in excellent technical condition, i.e. one that will not require repairs and modernisation in the coming years.

We apologise for any traffic disruptions and ask you to pay special attention to road signs.
