Warsaw road builders have started revitalization works at Plac Na Rozdrożu. From Tuesday, April 25, the first temporary changes await passers-by. They will be primarily related to the narrowing of sections of pavements.

Renovation works will cover the entire Na Rozdrożu Square – on both levels. As part of the investment, lifts will be installed to connect the upper part of the square with Trasa Łazienkowska. Downstairs, the stops will be reconstructed and widened.
On the square itself, there will be two new above-ground pedestrian crossings – on the western side of Aleje Ujazdowskie (through the entrance to Koszykowa Street) and in the axis of Aleja Wyzwolenia. Cyclists will also benefit. Existing crossings will be widened, a bicycle link will be built on the western side of the square and a bicycle path will connect this place with the overpasses over Agrykola that are being reconstructed. The details of the investment were presented last week by the mayor of the capital, Rafał Trzaskowski.
Changes for pedestrians and cyclists
On Tuesday, April 25, at At 7:00 am, the implementation of temporary traffic organization will begin. Road workers will mainly occupy sidewalks and a fragment of the road for bicycles. The first fences will appear, e.g. along the Ujazdowski Park fence and al. Capital Reconstruction Office. A fence will also be set up in the north-western corner of the square, and pedestrians and cyclists will use this section of the road together. Construction fences will block the entrances to both underground passages. Over time, further barriers will appear, which will temporarily limit the width of the sidewalks in different parts of the square.
Difficulties for drivers
At a later stage, the contractor will also narrow the road “snail” – leading to the western part of Plac Na Rozdrożu, in the direction of Mokotów. Drivers will have one lane there. The entrance to Koszykowa Street as well as the exit from Aleja Wyzwolenia will be slightly narrowed.
Drivers should exercise extreme caution in the area of the square. The Contractor will place posts along the edge of the roadway, which will allow, among others, to carry out replacement of curbs, but in places they will limit the width of the lane.
The works on Plac Na Rozdrożu will take regarding a year. The cost of the investment – carried out by Strabag – will amount to PLN 26.4 million. It will be co-financed under the Government Road Development Fund.
