Course and construction objects

The Sobieskiego runs continuously in three lanes, whereby in the northern part the use of the right lane at certain times is reserved for local public transport and taxis. Up until the war the sides of the street were largely undeveloped, and in some cases this is still the case today. The fort Chee of the Warsaw fortifications, which is still in existence today, extended west of the road for about half of the route . From 1930 onwards, large allotment gardens were laid out on the former esplanade of the fortifications - on the throat side of the fort. These also still exist today. Some open spaces were used for block development after the war - a large complex of this kind east of the street is the “Sadyba” settlement. The “Park Sielecki” (German: Sielce-Park ), also known as “Lasek Sielecki” (German: Sielce-Wäldchen ), which was popular before the war , no longer exists.
