Works on the construction of the ceiling of the “Tram to Mistrzejowice” tunnel at Polsadu Roundabout are entering the next stage. A team of engineers from Gülermak, the general contractor of the tram line, has completed the construction of the ceiling in the area of Młyńska Street and under the flyover of the bypass.

July on the construction site of the “Tram to Mistrzejowice” project marked the completion of concreting three sections of roof slabs under the viaduct, directly adjacent to its foundations and supports. Moving the work to the northern edge of Polsadu Roundabout is the next phase within the KST IV investment.

Earlier, in May and June, intense work took place at Młyński Roundabout, where the roof slab above the tunnel exit was completed, enabling the final channeling of the Sudoł Dominikański stream.

“As the Municipality, we cooperate with our Private Partner to ensure the project progresses as quickly as possible and to respond to all signals coming from residents. I am pleased that during construction meetings with the participation of residents’ representatives, we can create a space to exchange information about the progress and expectations of the locals. Thanks to this, the project evolves according to the expectations of Krakow’s residents, while construction moves forward, as best demonstrated by the progress in tunnel construction,” said Stanisław Kracik, Deputy Mayor of Krakow.

This is yet another complex technical challenge in the realization of the tram line to Mistrzejowice. Due to the limited space available for construction machinery, the work required great precision. Throughout the project, traffic over the viaduct had to continue without interruptions. In addition to engineers, a special geodetic monitoring system ensured the safety of the structure. This system, consisting of dozens of measurement devices, monitored the state of the viaduct in real time with an accuracy of 0.1 mm, 24 hours a day. Additionally, due to summer heat, most concreting works lasting over 5 hours were carried out at night.

“We have embedded nearly 3,000 cubic meters of structural concrete into the roof slabs. These structures, though temporarily covered, will soon give way to a new roadway and its accompanying infrastructure,” emphasized Krzysztof Dziobek, Contract Director from Gülermak.

Currently, on the southern part of Polsadu Roundabout, the final geometry of the underground station is visible. The top-down construction method used here involves excavating material from beneath the concreted roof slab once it has reached the necessary strength. Although this process is time-consuming, thanks to the involvement of appropriate equipment and coordination, the excavation rate reached several hundred cubic meters per day by the end of June.

North of the viaduct, waterproofing work on the roof slab is underway, which will allow for the restoration of the original road layout and the beginning of trench wall excavation at the site of the temporary road and pedestrian crossing. This will make it possible to connect the existing tunnel sections. The phased methodology of the work is crucial in the dense urban environment, allowing the project to proceed smoothly while minimizing inconvenience for residents.

We would like to inform you that there will be difficulties in the area of the intersection of Meissnera Street and Ugorek Street. Works related to the reconstruction of the telecommunication network will be carried out in half between 29 and 30 July.

• On July 29, the part of the roadway marked with number 1 is closed.
• On July 30, the part of the roadway marked with number 2 is closed.

There will also be restrictions in the pavement area marked with the number 3.

Manual traffic management will be introduced. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
Below is the exact location.

The implementation of the KST4 investment involves many complex activities that require careful analysis and compliance with regulations. During yesterday’s meeting with representatives of residents, we discussed the procedures and stages of formalization of arrangements.

Participants: ZDMK, ZTP, MIR, councillors, representatives of SM Ugorek and the Private Partner undertook a dialogue in order to sort out topics concerning, m.in, the fire exit located in the area of blocks of flats at 4-6 Meissnera Street. The Kraków Municipal Road Authority, as the road administrator, undertook to issue an order for the change by the end of July, indicating the introduction of the expected, specific solutions, so that the designer could carry out all analyses by the end of August, and then include them in the design documentation and efficiently process them in accordance with the declarations of the Public Entity.

It was requested to liquidate the bus bay on Mogilska Street and leave the possibility of stopping the bus on the lane, as well as to narrow the lanes of Mogilska Street and Aleja Jana Pawła II within the intersection with the need to verify the width of the right-turn lane.

A postulate was made to change the lane into parking spaces on Meissnera Street on the section from Łąkowa Street to Ugorek Street, i.e. as it currently functions.

Thanks to the commitment of all parties, we jointly strive to improve the infrastructure of our city and create optimal solutions!

Connecting the Dominikański Sudole to a new riverbed, or reconstruction of the tram terminus to Mistrzejowice. There was a lot of progress in the construction of the Fast Tram in June!

On 6 and 20 June, a session of the Construction Council was held, attended by representatives of the Private Partner and local government entities, including the Council of Districts III Prądnik Czerwony and XV Mistrzejowice, as well as interested residents.

On June 24, the tram terminus in Mistrzejowice was closed. The scope of work is enormous, intensive earthworks are being carried out. The reconstruction of the teletechnical network and the underground sanitary and rainwater sewage system is underway. It is also planned to demolish the MPK building at the terminus. Sapper supervision is still underway over the area in connection with the unexploded ordnance landfill found. A team of specialists takes care of the safety of residents.

Works on Sudole Dominikański have been completed. Since 26 June, the underground river has been flowing in a new current.

The construction of a new underground channel is one of the biggest engineering challenges we have ever faced. Work in the city requires precise planning to disrupt the daily lives of residents as little as possible and at the same time ensure efficient organization on the construction site, says Lidia Śmierzchalska, the construction works manager

In addition, it was possible to minimize the difficulties on Klemensa Janickiego Street. They were caused by the reconstruction of the heat pipeline network.

Works related to the reconstruction of the power grid near the transformer station at Dobrego Pasterza Street have also been completed. The works began on June 17 and lasted for 2 weeks.

On 12 June, the Mayor of Krakow, Aleksander Miszalski, personally checked the progress of works as part of the KST4 investment. The Mayor met with the main contractor, representatives of the Private Partner and journalists at the construction site.

On 9 July, the reconstruction of the power grid at 120-122 Dobrego Pasterza Street began. On the same day, works began on the section from Ugorek Street to the crossing in the area of KS Wieczysta. The scope of works concerns the heating network.

In June, we made significant progress in the implementation of infrastructure projects related to the modernization of energy and heating networks. The overconnection of the Dominikański Sudole to the new riverbed has been completed and intensive work has begun on the tram terminus in Mistrzejowice. The discovery of unexploded ordnance from World War II requires special caution from us. Our priority is to ensure the full safety of all residents and employees, which may affect the course of the work. We are doing our best to meet these challenges and monitor progress on an ongoing basis.

We would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the implementation of these tasks. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

We would like to inform you that today at 5:00 p.m. the concreting of the next segment of the ceiling above the “Rondo Polsadu” station will begin, which will last until 8:00 a.m. on Saturday.

Concreting will be carried out at night due to the current heat.

We would like to inform you about the closure of the pavement at Meissera Street between Janickiego and Łąkowa Streets.

The works are related to the replacement of the heating network. The reopening of the crossing will take place in the summer season.

A temporary pedestrian route through the green area to Janickiego Street has been designated.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

We would like to inform you that from Thursday, July 18, works related to the overvoltage of the rainwater drainage system in the area of the Mistrzejowice loop will begin. Due to the need to narrow the roadway, manual traffic control will be introduced between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Outside the designated time, the roadway will be made available for full use. The works are planned for 2 days.

We ask for your understanding and take into account that the progress of the work is influenced, among other things, by demanding weather conditions.

From next Tuesday, July 9, works related to the reconstruction of the power grid along the buildings at Dobrego Pasterza Street numbered 120-122 will begin.

Due to the location of the works, it will be necessary to occupy a part of the parking lot at the curb.

Please be careful and pay attention to the signage. Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
