Expressway S2 forms part of the southern section of the planned Warsaw Express Ring Road and is also the extension of the A2 Motorway from the west, which will eventually link to the rest of the A2 Motorway east of Warsaw. At present about one half of the road (the western section) has been built, while the other half (the eastern section) is scheduled to be completed in August, 2020.[1] The road has been planned since the 1970s, initially as part of the A2 Motorway, however after local Warsaw residents objected to the plans of an inner-city motorway, the proposed road was downgraded to an Expressway, though the actual route was not changed.
Construction of the first phase of the project was divided into two sections. Work on a 3.9 km stretch between Lotnisko junction (linking to Expressway S79) and Puławska junction at the eastern end of this phase of the project began in September 2009,[2] while construction of the other, 11.1 km long section between the western Konotopa junction (linking the A2 Motorway and the western portion of the ring road, Expressway S8) and Lotnisko junction began in the Summer of 2010.[3]
Both sections were scheduled to be completed in mid 2012 in time for the Euro 2012 football championships, however this deadline was not achieved.[4] The S2 Expressway eventually opened in a number of stages, beginning in the west at Konotopa junction in August 2013, with further sections opening in September 2013, linking the road with Expressway S79 leading to Chopin International Airport. The final part of this phase of the project up to Puławska junction opened in late September 2013.
The second phase of the project will take the S2 Expressway east of Puławska across the Vistula river connecting the route with the eastern part of the Warsaw Express Ring Road and the continuation of the A2 Motorway eastwards. The design-and-build tender for this section (divided into 3 separate contracts) was announced on December 18, 2013, with completion date specified as 41 months from the date contract is signed (not counting 3 winter months).[5] The contract was signed in December, 2015, with completion planned for August, 2020.[1]
The contracts are:
- Contract A (4.6 km) including tunnel under Ursynów : Astaldi S.p.A. , price about 1 222 mln zł.
- Contract B (6.45 km) including bridge over Vistula river: Gulermak Agir Sanayi Inssat ve Taahhut A.S. and PBDiM Mińsk Maz. , price about 757,6 mln zł.
