Contrary to all of the negative press
and constant rant of the opposition party, Law and Justice, Euro 2012
visitors will be able to drive to Warsaw on the newest Polish highway– A2. On Tuesday night (May 22nd), 7 kilometer part of the highway between
Konotopa and Pruszkow was opened to the public. Take a look at the
video.

Remaining stretches are almost ready
for the traffic and they will be opened for Euro 2012, although the
work will complete in October 2012. For Poland, this is very
exciting time. The country is getting new highways that will connect
West and East and North and South. Even now, getting to Warsaw from
Berlin by car is a very smooth ride.
Good job Poles. Keep those shovels
digging and those bulldozers plowing.
UPDATE: On May 27th, another part of the A2 highway, section D, was completed. It's a 18 km stretch connecting Grodzisk Mazowiecki and Pruszkow. The general contractor, Strabag company, claims that they took a hit on the contract and had to spend additional money to complete the project. In any case, besides some last minute details, motorists are using the road already.
ANOTHER UPDATE: On June 1st, section B was approved for usage. The 17 km part connects Bolimowo and Hipolitowo. It was built by consortium lead by Mostostal Warszawa. Drivers are still waiting for a final go, but the road is read.
Still waiting for A and C!!! You can make it! Put some windex on it!
YET ANOTHER UPDATE: It's official: you can drive all the way from Berlin to Warsaw (Warszawa) on A2 motorway! On June 7th, part A and C were opened to the public.
It was a huge undertake for Polish government to finish this project on time for Euro 2012. But the great news is: the highway will be used by everyday Poles to quickly move around the country, which in itself, is a great accomplishment. Fantastic job!!!
