The works will start next Monday, July 8, and will last 2-3 days. During this period, it will only be possible to enter Łąkowa Street from Meissnera Street, while the exit will be temporarily restricted.
We make every effort to minimize inconvenience, accelerating the progress of works.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and patience.
The project related to the construction of a tram line to Mistrzejowice assumed the liquidation of the existing fragment of the Sudół Dominikański stream on the section from the intersection of Młyńska Street and Macieja Miechowity Street to the connection with the canal running from the Młyńskie roundabout to the Prądnik River. At the end of June, Gülermak, the general contractor of the Tram to Mistrzejowice, reconnected the river current to a new riverbed. The reconstruction of this section of Sudole Dominikański cost about PLN 30 million.
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 disturb the daily life of residents as little as possible and at the same time ensure efficient organization on the construction site – says Lidia Śmierzchalska, construction works manager.
Sudół Dominikański will now run under some of the pavements and roadways. The river changed its location by about 8-10 meters to the west. It flows in a specially prepared riverbed, which consists of 189 prefabricated elements with a length of 2.0 m and an internal cross-section of 2.25 x 3.0 m. The weight of a single element is as much as 10.8 tons. Gülermak engineers chose the technology, using prefabricated elements that were joined directly on site. Thanks to this, it was possible to stage the works as part of the project and minimize the nuisance for residents.
Sudół Dominikański in the previous current ran exactly in the place where we are building the tunnel and the new road system. This work front is now available to us. Thanks to this, by the end of August, we will build the western part of the roadway by the new Sudole Dominikański canal. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be redirected from the eastern part to free up space for the construction of the tunnel. As a result, we will be constructing diaphragm walls on the section Młyńskie roundabout – Polsadu roundabout – says Krzysztof Dziobek, contract director.
Intensification of works on the Mistrzejowice terminus
Meanwhile, intensive work is underway on the final section of the 4.5-kilometer tram line. In the area of the Mistrzejowice terminus, the voltage in the overhead contact line has been switched off. The wires were removed and the poles were dismantled. From Monday, June 24, the loop has been out of use. Work is underway on the dismantling of the track, which involves, among others: cutting rails, dismantling sleepers, unfastening rails from sleepers. Work is underway to remove the entire track infrastructure from the Mistrzejowice loop in order to start troughing the track for the new track. All works are carried out under constant sapper supervision, which will last until the end of works in this area.
We make every effort to ensure that the works run smoothly and according to schedule. Night operation of the unit is planned until Wednesday inclusive.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. We are convinced that the final effect in the form of a new tram line to Mistrzejowice will bring many benefits to our community.
Changes will be introduced in the operation of the KMK line:
After the completion of the shutdown of the tram track along Powstania Warszawskiego Avenue, it is assumed that line 14 will be directed to the Os. Piastów, and line 9 to the Rondo Hipokrates tram terminus.
Details related to the functioning of public transport are updated on the website of the Public Transport Authority in Krakow.
Due to the ongoing works on the reconstruction of the heat pipeline network and the need to go through the heat pipeline under the road, on Tuesday – Wednesday it will only be possible to enter Ugorek Street from Meissnera Street. Exit from Ugorek Street into Meissnera Street is recommended by a detour. Then, from Thursday to Friday, only the exit from Ugorek Street will be possible. Entrance to Ugorek Street from Meissnera Street is recommended by a detour. Manual traffic management will be introduced.

The progress of works carried out in May covered the farthest section of the 4.5-kilometre line of the Krakow Fast Tram (KSTIV). Excavations have begun in the area of the Mistrzejowice loop along Kazimierza Jancarza Street. In addition, work continued on the drainage and foundation of the track along Bohomolca Street.
As part of the reconstruction of Sudole Dominikańskie, over 300 meters of new canal have already been made.
The construction of diaphragm walls of the underground station Rondo Młyńskie was completed, the stage with the turnout chamber for the next stages of the KST and the W6 exit.
Working platforms for the northern tunnel section along Lublańska Street have been made. In addition, reinforcement works were carried out on the floor slab of the upper W1 exit for the Polsadu Roundabout station.
In addition, numerous reconstruction of underground networks took place. The greatest intensity of work in the area of Meissnera Street concerned the reconstruction of the gas, water supply and heating networks.
