Major Roadworks at Wiatraczna Roundabout and Zakole Street Bring Traffic Disruptions and Detours

A new phase of road repairs at Wiatraczna Roundabout and Zakole Street in Warsaw begins Tuesday, August 25, introducing significant traffic restrictions and public transport detours through August 28.

Roadworks Schedule and Traffic Restrictions

Due to ongoing repairs on Zakole Street and Wiatraczna Roundabout, the next phase of road construction will start on Tuesday, August 25, at 7:00 AM and last until Friday, August 28, at 10:00 PM. Contractors will shift work to the opposite side of the road, causing significant traffic disruptions.

The contractor will close the left and middle lanes toward Targowa Street, the left lane on the roundabout itself, and narrow the inlets from Grochowska Street and United States Avenue by one lane. The straight-through crossing from Wiatraczna Street onto the roundabout will be eliminated, and exiting Wiatraczna Street—restricted to a single lane—will only be permitted to the right toward Targowa Street. Zakole Street will remain closed.

Detours for Drivers

For drivers coming from the area around Szaserów Street, detours have been designated via Dwernickiego, Podskarbińska, and Międzyborska streets, or via Szaserów and Wspólna Droga streets. Meanwhile, traffic from Szembek Square toward United States Avenue and Washington Avenue will be routed via Ostrobramska and Grenadierów streets.

Changes to Public Transport

Changes will also affect public transport, with lines 123, 142, 173, 188, and 523 altering their routes in both directions. One-way route modifications will be implemented for line 141 toward P+R Al. Krakowska, line 143 toward Pomnik Lotnika, and lines 145, 148, 183, 702, 704, 720, 722, and 730 heading to the Wiatraczna loop. Additionally, buses on lines 521, N24, and Z21 will run on modified routes exclusively toward Dworca Centralnego and Metra Stadion Narodowy.
