Works on the A4 motorway, section Katowice-Krakow - update
We kindly inform you that at the beginning of March, the final stage of modernisation works (road surface replacement) began on the A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway. The works will be carried out without significantly affecting the capacity of the route, with two lanes maintained in both directions.
ROAD SURFACE REPLACEMENT
- in the direction of Kraków, between the Byczyna junction and the Rudno junction, traffic organisation has been changed on two sections:
from km 368 to km 373 and
from km 376 to km 380.
- one lane is open on the carriageway towards Kraków,
- on the carriageway towards Katowice, two lanes are available for travellers heading towards Katowice and one lane for travellers heading towards Kraków (both directions will be separated by a special barrier).
PLEASE NOTE: Access to the motorway at the Balin and Chrzanów junctions is possible after stopping at the ‘STOP’ sign.
Work on these sections on both carriageways is scheduled to be completed by the end of May 2026.
Detailed information on traffic organisation is available at https://www.a4info.pl/
Proper maintenance of the A4 Katowice-Kraków motorway infrastructure, including the road surface and engineering structures (such as 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 perfect technical condition, i.e. one that will not require repairs or modernisation in the coming years.
We apologise for any traffic disruptions and ask you to pay special attention to road signs.
