The Zakopianka is a 102-kilometer Polish expressway and national road that begins in the center of Krakow (Rondo Mateczne) and ends in the center of Zakopane (Rondo Chramca). It runs through the Lesser Poland Voivodeship in a north-south direction in the mountainous terrain of the Beskids ( Insel Beskids ), Gorce and Pogórze Spisko-Gubałowskie and ends at the foot of the High Tatras in the Vortat rift . It includes the southern section of the S7 , the DK7 and the entire DK47 . On the southern edge of Kraków, the Zakopianka crosses the west-east motorway from Görlitz to Korczowa .
Building history
Of the 102 kilometers, around fifty kilometers have been built with two or more lanes in one direction and around thirty kilometers are currently being upgraded to two or more lanes in one direction, and the longest road tunnel in Poland is being built under Luboń Mały . The last approximately twenty kilometers long section from Nowy Targ to Zakopane is to remain single-track. The expansion ended in 2018, the tunnel construction should be finished in 2020.
Unless otherwise indicated, the speed limit on the two-lane expressway is 120 km / h and on the single-lane 100 km / h. If traffic conditions are good, the expansion will shorten the travel time from Krakow to Zakopane to around an hour.
