They wrote to us, a reader:
The crossing on Cieszkowskiego Street has been repaired carelessly. And there are potholes in the asphalt again.
Cieszkowskiego Street is a national road, but the owner of the crossing is PKN Orlen. At the beginning of this year, the company—following our intervention—patched the potholes. However, as the reader informed us, it did little good because the potholes have appeared again.
We asked PKN Orlen’s press office whether there is a chance these potholes will finally be repaired properly. We will publish the response as soon as we receive it.
Let us recall. At the turn of 2017 and 2018, we received a report from a reader that on Cieszkowskiego Street in Bolesławiec, where the roadway is crossed by railway tracks, there were terrible potholes and it was quite dangerous. As the Bolesławiec resident added, drivers move toward the center line to avoid the potholes, which means that an accident could occur there one day.
In January, we contacted Joanna Borkowska, spokesperson for the Wrocław branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. The spokesperson said:
The railway crossing on the section of national road No. 94d from km 41+269 to km 41+315 provides access to the railway siding of PKN Orlen. Regarding the poor technical condition of the crossing’s surface, the GDDKiA District Office in Lubań intervened by letter in October 2017. The defects and faults in the crossing’s surface identified at that time were removed by the owner of the crossing.
On January 2, GDDKiA services inspected the condition of the crossing’s surface again. Potholes and unevenness had reappeared outside the road lane, and their repair is the responsibility of the owner of the railway crossing—PKN Orlen. We were informed that the potholes would be repaired.
On January 3, road workers from GDDKiA confirmed that the potholes had been eliminated. But not for long...
