Significance

The road links the exits of national roads DK79 and DK94 on the northern side of Krakow with the A4 and the S7, and is meant to take over through traffic and part of city traffic. The project produced 27 bridge structures with a combined length of almost 1.9 km and 23 retention reservoirs. The opening date moved from the turn of November and December 2024 because of contractor claims linked to archaeological work and rainfall.

Sources 5 · 5 independent

Every fact on this card comes from the sources below. Next to each source – which fields it supports.

Independence is counted the same way the gate that admits a record counts it: subdomains and titles from one publisher are a single voice, Wikipedia is zero. That is why the number is lower than the number of links. Three is the minimum.
