The Droga krajowa 63 (DK63) is a Polish national road . It runs in a north-south direction from the Polish-Russian border at Perły to the Polish-Belarusian border at Sławatycze through the Warmian-Masurian , Podlachian , Masovian and Lublin voivodeships over a length of about 410 km. Although the road continues on the Russian side, there is no border crossing. Instead, the border is marked by a barrier and appropriate signs.

history

Origins

This road connects regions with completely different historical affiliations and routes with completely different origins. The northern section of the route used to belong to East Prussia and was known as Reichsstraße 131 until 1945 . The southern section of the route belonged to the territory of the Second Polish Republic between 1918 and 1939 .

The section between Angerburg and Lötzen was expanded between 1867 and 1870 as part of emergency work. A little earlier, in 1866, the road from Lötzen via Arys to Johannisburg was completed.

Previous routes and names

In 1985 the Polish road network was reorganized. The previous state roads (droga państwowa) were renamed and renumbered as state roads (droga krajowa) . Since 1986 there have been three state roads on the route of today's DK 63:

  • the DK 63 of Łomża to Siedlce
  • the DK 644 of Kisielice about Giżycko (Lötzen) and Węgorzewo (Angerburg) to the border
  • the DK 804 of Siedlce over Łuków after Radzyń Podlaski.

In 2003 the numbering of the road network was changed so that all state roads were marked with two-digit numbers and all provincial roads with three-digit numbers. At that time, the three above mentioned streets were merged to form DK 63.
