Warsaw. Works on Plac Bankowy, new asphalt in front of the town hall

As the capital city hall explains in the communiqué, the replacement of the surface on the square was preceded by paving works and curb regulation. Work on laying the new asphalt will begin on Saturday, August 19, at 4 am and will last until 4 am on Monday, August 21.

Throughout the weekend, the eastern roadway of Plac Bankowy, i.e. the one located closer to the so-called Blue Skyscraper, leading to Aleja “Solidarity”, will be closed. Traffic in both directions will be on the City Hall side. Drivers traveling from the center will have one lane at their disposal – first the one used by buses normally, and then one of the ‘contra-current’ lanes. At the intersection with Senatorska and Elektoralna streets, they will turn into both streets, but they will only go straight through Aleja “Solidarności”. Those who want to go towards the Śląsko-Dąbrowski bridge and further to Praga will have to take a detour along Senatorska and Nowy Przejazd streets. Driving towards Aleja Jana Pawła II, you should go straight along Andersa Street and turn into Nowolipki.

On the other hand, from the side of Andersa Street, at Plac Bankowy, there will be one lane less, but the possibility of turning into Senatorska and Elektoralna Streets will be preserved. One lane less to turn into the square will also be available to those driving along “Solidarity” Avenue – from the side of the Śląsko-Dąbrowski bridge.

Pedestrians will also be affected over the weekend. The passages on the northern side of the square, i.e. at the exit from the Ratusz-Arsenał metro station and at the height of the Juliusz Słowacki monument, will be closed. Pedestrians will have to use the adjacent lanes – through Andersa Street and at the intersection with Senatorska Street.
