Attention! Traffic disruptions – closure of the entrance from Bohaterów Wietnamu Street to Młyńska Street and works at the intersection of Miechowity and Młyńska Streets.
We inform you that on October 17th (Thursday), the entrance from Bohaterów Wietnamu Street to Młyńska Street will be temporarily closed due to road works. As part of the surface modernization, a new bituminous layer will be laid. The works are scheduled for one day, and we expect to complete them on the same day.
We suggest drivers use the detour via Pilotów and Kazimierza ze Skalbmierza Streets.
Additionally, we inform you that on October 17th and 18th (Thursday and Friday), there will be additional traffic disruptions on the section of Miechowity and Młyńska Streets due to preparatory works for the introduction of Temporary Traffic Organization.
Due to discrepancies appearing in the public space, we remind you that the schedule of works and their progress is regularly presented on the website and social media, as well as every two weeks during Construction Councils with the participation of representatives of UM Kraków, Councilors, and Residents.
To clear up any doubts, we present the main scope of works and their completion dates:
Completion of the reconstruction of the Mistrzejowice Loop in terms of tracks – Q4 2024
Execution of the intermediate slab of the Polsad station (level -1) – Q4 2024
Completion of the construction of diaphragm walls – Q1 2025
Execution of the bottom slab (level -2) of the Polsad station – Q2 2025
Completion of tunnel construction works – Q3 2025
Tunnel equipment installation – Q4 2025
Construction of the tram track – Q4 2025
Finishing works (small architecture and plantings) – Q1 2026
The Detailed Work Schedule, understood as part of the Public-Private Partnership Agreement, contains very detailed information on the implementation of the works. This document has been reported as protected by trade secrets due to its high level of detail and significant data regarding the technology of the works.
Since the beginning of the investment, we have answered all, even the most difficult, questions. We are at your disposal:
The construction of the 4.5-kilometer tram line to Mistrzejowice is ongoing, with recent weeks bringing further progress. In the new material, you will see how we use BIM technology in planning and monitoring construction works.
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a technology used in the construction industry that helps in creating, managing, and analyzing information about buildings or infrastructure in a digital and 3D manner. You can read more about this in one of our articles: BIM Technology.
In the report, you will see how BIM technology affects the progress of the work and what innovative solutions are being implemented on the construction site. The material also presents details of the progress made in August.
We invite you to watch the video and follow the next stages of the construction of the tram line to Mistrzejowice.
In August, work on the construction of the new rapid tram line to Mistrzejowice in Kraków made significant progress. The largest Public-Private Partnership project in Poland, though not without challenges, is delivering visible results. As we bid farewell to August, we reflect on the successes—what has been achieved?
Many significant tasks have been completed in the areas of energy and telecommunications. The foundation work for the traction poles at the Mistrzejowice loop was carried out under constant bomb disposal supervision. We also completed the comprehensive construction of cable ducts, telecommunications infrastructure, and signalization ducts on key sections around the Mistrzejowice loop, Dobrego Pasterza Street, Lublańska Street, Młyńska Street, and Meissnera Street. Particularly challenging were the fiber optic network reconstruction works around the Mistrzejowice loop, where the team’s precise actions ensured safe and efficient execution, maintaining uninterrupted network operation. Despite the ongoing presence of bomb disposal experts in the area, the smooth progress of the work, though slower, is still a reason for satisfaction.
Additionally, we successfully resolved electrical conflicts at critical locations such as Lublańska Street, Barei Roundabout, and Dobrego Pasterza Street.
In August, work began on the final road construction on Młyńska Street. Road foundations and structural layers were laid on the section between the Castorama entrance and Bohaterów Wietnamu Street. The first curbs for the “new” Młyńska Street were installed. A key element for further progress was the implementation of a temporary traffic organization at Polsadu Roundabout and Lublańska Street, which introduced a new traffic geometry. More.
Intensive work is still ongoing on Lublańska Street for the deepening of diaphragm walls. These are crucial for the construction of the tunnel, which will end at Barei Roundabout.
Work related to water, heating, gas, sanitary, and stormwater networks was equally intensive and conducted throughout the entire construction area. Activities were carried out on streets such as Meissnera, Młyńska, Lublańska, Dobrego Pasterza, Bohomolca, and Jancarza. Currently, intensive work is underway on Krzesławicka Street. More.
But it’s not all about construction! Last month, at the Information Point, we served delicious, refreshing lemonade as part of the “Lemonade for Residents” campaign. This was in support of homeless animals from the Kraków Shelter. It was not only an ideal opportunity to show great heart and empathy but also to inquire about details related to the KST IV investment. We are thrilled by the tremendous interest in our event. Thank you on behalf of the animals from Rybną Street.
Recent months have seen the completion of important construction stages, such as the concreting of ceilings at the “Rondo Polsadu” station and under the overpass on the southern side from Młyńska Street, as well as the rerouting of the Dominikański Brook to a new riverbed. The results from last month have significantly impacted the progress of the works. All network reconstruction activities are carried out with due diligence, ensuring the safety and comfort of residents. Although there is still much work ahead, the progress so far is a reason for optimism.
On Monday, September 2nd, work will begin on the reconstruction of the stormwater drainage system on Krzesławicka Street.
Due to the work, vehicle traffic on Krzesławicka Street will be suspended, except for construction vehicles and residents, who will be able to enter only from Bohomolca Street heading west, up to Krzesławicka 11. As the work progresses, access will be further restricted.
Pedestrian traffic from Bohomolca Street will take place on the roadway, then will shift to a specially prepared structure along the tracks up to Dobrego Pasterza Street.
Due to the construction of the underground station Rondo Polsadu as part of the Tram to Mistrzejowice project, a new traffic organization (stage 2.5) has been in effect since the weekend of August 31st/September 1st. This involves road closures, lane reductions, and the introduction of new traffic geometry.
A temporary roundabout will be created under the overpass.
The temporary intersection on Lublańska Street will be removed.
Minor updates to the traffic organization on Lublańska Street will be introduced soon. Exact dates and details of the changes will be provided in advance. Update: On the weekend of September 7th/8th, the Olsza II bus stop on Lublańska Street will be relocated closer to the overpass. The pedestrian crossing with a bicycle lane on Lublańska Street will be moved closer to the temporary small roundabout at Polsadu Roundabout.
