The Droga ekspresowa S52 ( pol. For "expressway S52") is a partly completed, mostly planned expressway in Poland . It was re-established by a government decision of May 19, 2016 and, once completed, will lead from the Polish-Czech border near Cieszyn via Bielsko-Biała to the S7 expressway near Głogoczów and thus the state road 52 between Bielsko-Biała and Głogoczów (S7) replace. Furthermore, the north bypass of Kraków is now being integrated into the expressway network as part of the S52 .

On August 4, 2016, the establishment of the S52 with the change of the expressways in the Silesian Voivodeship was implemented by the GDDKiA . The section of the S1 expressway between Bielsko-Biała and the border in Cieszyn has been partially rededicated as the S52, while the S1 runs to the Polish-Slovakian border at Zwardoń and replaces the S69 .

The expansion of part of what was then Niepodległości Street into an expressway (section 2; 07/2009).

The 11.9 km north-east bypass of Bielsko-Biała , which was built along the S1 and S52 expressways , was created by a consortium consisting of the construction companies Hermann Kirchner Sp.
