Road workers have selected a company that will rebuild the intersection of Woronicza and Spartańska streets. There will be traffic lights here and the road will be narrowed in the pedestrian crossing area. In August last year, there was a tragic accident here, in which two people died.

“We have resolved the tender for the reconstruction of the intersection of Woronicza and Spartańska streets. We have chosen the offer of the Warsaw company Podkowa, worth just over PLN 3.1 million. The next step will be to sign a contract with the selected contractor,” the Municipal Roads Authority announced on Thursday. The contractor will have 150 days from signing the contract to complete the order.

What will change at the intersection?

“The biggest change as part of the investment will be the construction of traffic lights. In addition, a number of other changes will be implemented – including moving the crossing at Woronicza 29 closer to the intersection or narrowing the road in the crossing area,” the release added.

ZDM informs that as part of the reconstruction, the inlet to the street will also be narrowed. Spartan. “The sidewalks and the 'Zajezdnia Woronicza 02' stop will also be rebuilt. Two bicycle crossings will also be built. One through ul. Spartańska, connecting with the bicycle path stretching along the street, and the second crossing through ul. Woronicza on the western side of the intersection,” road engineers enumerate.

At the same time, a bicycle path along Woronicza is being designed. The path will be built on the northern side of the street on the section from Wołoska to Etude Rewolucyjna and will be marked by narrowing the road.

Tragic accident

Both crossings through Woronicza Street at the intersection with Spartańska received a “0” rating in the audit – the lowest possible.

On August 13 last year, near the intersection of Woronicza and Spartańska the driver of a passenger car drove into a bus stop. Earlier, he hit a woman crossing the road. One person died on the spot, five, including a 3.5-year-old child, were taken to hospital. One of the injured people died in hospital. In January, the court decided to extend the detention of the perpetrator of the accident. Investigators determined that the man exceeded the speed limit in that location. He had also previously had his driving license taken away.

After the August tragedy, road workers installed speed bumps in front of the pedestrian crossing – as a temporary solution. The tender for the reconstruction of the crossing was announced by ZDM in November.
