As reported by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways:
In mid-September, we received a permit to use the section of DK18 between the Żary Zachód and Iłowa interchanges, which had been upgraded to motorway standards. The road was opened to drivers in its full 2+2 configuration. The cost of the completed works was more than PLN 260 million.
The contractors’ main task was to adapt the existing road layout fully to motorway standards. The road administrator lists the works: – The concrete surface of the southern carriageway was replaced; three overpasses for large animals, three viaducts and a bridge along the motorway were also built. The Żary Południe motorway interchange was reconstructed as well.
What about the remaining sections?
Construction work on the remaining sections, with a combined length of nearly 50 km, will be completed in 2023. We will certainly return to this topic.
