The Łódź ring road is a planned ring road that will surround the Polish city ​​of Łódź partly as a motorway and partly as an expressway . With a total length of 114 km, this will be the longest ring road in Poland and should be completed by 2020.

location

The motorway ring is almost entirely outside the urban area of Łódź . Only in the west and east will the ring run through the outermost urban areas. In addition, the neighboring communities Aleksandrów Łódzki , Konstantynów Łódzki , Andrespol , Pabianice , Dobroń , Rzgów , Stryków and Zgierz are connected to long-distance traffic.

construction

The Łódź ring road consists of a section of the A2 motorway in the north ( Emilia - Łódź-Północ ), a section of the A1 motorway in the east ( Łódź-Północ - Łódź-Południe ), a section of the S8 expressway in the south ( Łódź-Południe - Róża ) and the entire S14 expressway in the west.

Current status

87 km of the planned 114 km (76%) have been completed. Only a section of the S14 expressway in the northwest with a length of about 27 km is still missing. The complete completion of the S14 and thus the completion of the motorway ring is scheduled for 2020.

The part of the A2 was fully opened in 2008. A first section of the S14 was opened on July 13, 2012, another part of the S14 and the S8 on April 11, 2014. In the east, the A1 motorway was opened on July 1, 2016.
