Warsaw’s tram track renovation program passes its halfway mark as construction on Pu\u0142awska Street begins on August 15, bringing major disruptions that will last until the end of November. <\/p>\n
The renovation plan for the capital’s tracks has passed its halfway mark, and Tramwaje Warszawskie crews will soon begin the final major task: renovating the tram track on Pu\u0142awska Street, from the Metro Wilanowska loop to the Wy\u015bcigi loop. Work will start on Saturday, August 15, and last until the end of November, with trams returning to part of the route at the turn of September and October.<\/p>\n
This year, the Warsaw Track Program includes 36 tasks and nearly 12 km of tracks. Between late July and early August, trams returned to Gr\u00f3jecka Street, Aleje Jerozolimskie, and the renovated section of track in Aleja Solidarno\u015bci and the Kino Femina node. Work on Winnica and the second half of the Kino Femina node is scheduled to last until the end of the holidays, while trams will return to Poniatowski Bridge at the beginning of the new school year and to Aleja Niepodleg\u0142o\u015bci in mid-September.<\/p>\n
The final major track renovation will kick off in mid-August on the final section of Pu\u0142awska Street up to the Wy\u015bcigi loop, with remaining planned tasks involving mainly weekend or few-day changes in tram operations.<\/p>\n
The last major track renovation on this section was carried out in 2000, resulting in numerous mud pumping spots and track structure damages caused by water, which prompted speed restrictions. Currently, there are six speed limits of 10, 20, and 30 km\/h along a total length of 420 meters on this section.<\/p>\n
The works will cover a total of 3,380 meters of track between the Metro Wilanowska and Wy\u015bcigi loops, preserving the ballast structure on most of the route and building new drainage to solve the mud pumping problem.<\/p>\n
Tram stops will be renovated, the Wy\u015bcigi loop will be equipped with lighting, and four track crossings will be repaired at Aleja Wilanowska, Pu\u0142awska (slanted crossing), Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w, and Smyczkowa using large-format prefabricated slabs to shorten closure times.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, August 15, shortly after midnight, tram workers will narrow the lane of Pu\u0142awska towards Ursyn\u00f3w by one lane from Aleja Wilanowska to the Rzymowskiego junction.<\/p>\n
In subsequent stages, tram workers will renovate track crossings, starting with the closure of the Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w crossing for one week from August 15 to 23.<\/p>\n
After finishing work at Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w, the work will move to the intersection of Pu\u0142awska with Aleja Wilanowska and Aleja Niepodleg\u0142o\u015bci, closing both track crossings at Aleja Wilanowska. Afterward, workers will renovate tracks crossing the Pu\u0142awska roadway toward Ursyn\u00f3w, finishing with work at Strumykowa, with all construction lasting until late November.<\/p>\n
Starting August 15, trams will not run from the Metro Wilanowska loop to the Wy\u015bcigi loop, with lines 4 and 10 operating up to the loop at the Wilanowska metro station.<\/p>\n
Bus lines 189, 193, 317, 401, 402, N01, and N33 will run on detours.<\/p>\n
Track work is phased, and at the turn of September and October, trams will return to the Aleja Lotnik\u00f3w stop, where a temporary crossover switch will be installed to allow bidirectional trams on lines 4 and 10 to turn around. Until the end of the renovation in late November, the tram route will be shorter by only one stop at Wy\u015bcigi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
