Autostrada A8 (Poland)

Autostrada A8 (Poland)

The A8 highway in Poland is a short (35,4 km) planned motorway which, when completed, will form a motorway bypass of the city of Wrocław [ [http://siskom.waw.pl/autostrady/a8/a8.jpg] Map of route at siskom.waw.p] . Construction should start in 2008, and the motorway is to be completed by 2010.

The highway will include a large bridge over the river Oder. The contract for its construction was signed on May 20, 2008 [http://www.gddkia.gov.pl/article/informacje/aktualnosci/article.php/id_item_tree/5675968fea131404ac18694a3d3ef79b/id_art/7de19430b88a88da5b8f1d8ab5f40acc] Official notice on www.gddkia.gov.pl page (in Polish) ] . Construction is to start shortly and according to terms specified in the contract will take 30 months. The bridge will be built by a consortium of Mostostal Warszawa S.A. and Acciona Infraestructura S.A.

Earlier plans envisaged the A8 motorway to run the entire route between Wrocław and Łódź - and in a longer term connect it southwards with a connection to Prague. But a few years ago, the motorway was truncated to its current length. On the rest of the route, a lower standard "express road" S8 will be built, but no firm plans for its construction exist at present.
