The Bielany intersection of Arkuszowa and Estrada with 3 Maja Street in Mościska was to be ready in January. However, road works are still ongoing. Officials said the delay was caused by problems with the launch of new power grids. A new date for completing the investment has been set.
Heavy equipment appeared at the intersection commonly called the “gate to the capital” in May last year. Its modernization was supposed to be completed in January 2025. However, it turns out that the deadline for the work was extended due to problems with the construction of the new energy network.
“Since the old power grids made it impossible to rebuild the sewage, water, gas and telecommunications networks, the condition for continuing the road works was to switch the electric voltage to the newly built networks. Longer switching dates made it necessary to change the schedule of works at the intersection,” explains the Capital City Development Authority in a statement published on Friday. message.
As indicated, the renovation is scheduled to be completed by June. However, road workers plan to make the new roadways available to drivers in spring.
