During the weekend, road workers will mill the right lane of Puławska Street. In turn, tram drivers will renovate switches at the former Femina cinema. Renovations are also planned in two locations in Wola. There will be detours and changes in public transport timetables.
The capital city hall announced that the renovation of Puławska on the section from Romer to Dolina Służewiecka will start on Friday, May 24, at 10 p.m. and will last until Monday, May 27, until 4 a.m. The road towards the center will be narrowed to one lane.
Difficulties from Pilecki Street
The first changes will be introduced on Pilecki Street. Only one lane will be available for turning right into Puławska. In turn, on the section of Puławska Street from Pilecki to Romera, the far right lane will be closed, and from Romer to the junction with Dolina Służewiecka, drivers will use one lane – the left one. The Puławska Romera connection will remain open.
You will not be able to turn right from Puławska into the Służewiecka Valley.
The detour will lead along Puławska Street and Wilanowska Avenue. It will also be possible to avoid the obstructions through the following streets: Pilecki, Ciszewskiego and Rodowicza “Anody”.

Difficulties on Jana Pawła Street
On Saturday and Sunday, May 25 and 26, tram drivers will replace switches on the track on the side of the former Femina cinema. Before the intersection with Aleja Solidarności, they will close the middle lane of Aleja Jana Pawła II, allowing driving straight towards Żoliborz. From the right, it will only be possible to turn towards Bankowy Square.
Also on the road of Aleja Solidarności to Plac Bankowy, before the intersection, one straight lane will be closed. Traffic in the remaining lanes will continue unchanged.
Pedestrians will cross the street as before, and only the zebra crossing on the works side will be narrowed.
