Modification of two bridge structures near Września and Słupca

On 26 June the modification of the motorway overbridge near Września (km 209 of A2) and the bridge over the Bawół stream near Słupca (225 km A2) will start. The planned modification will enable the adjustment of the bearing capacity and structural and geometric parameters of bridge structures to the current requirements of technical and construction regulations. Drivers are asked to be careful and follow the signs of temporary traffic organization.

The Motorway Overbridge running over DK 92, in the vicinity of km 209 of Autostrada Wielkopolska, consists of two independent structures (one for each carriageway of the motorway). In consecutive phase of the works, the overbridge will be completely dismantled and then a new one will be built. For drivers, this means that traffic will be routed to the northbound or southbound part of the facility (motorway carriageway) respectively, depending on the work phase in course. Similar works are planned for the bridge over the Bawół stream, located in the vicinity of km 225 of A2.

As a result of the works carried out, the foundations of the facilities will be reinforced, new supports will be reinforced or built, and completely new span structures will be constructed. This will allow for adapting the load capacity of the modified bridge structures and their construction and geometric parameters to the current requirements of technical and construction regulations, e.g. in terms of load capacity: class I and load with special vehicles according to MLC class.

Despite the construction, traffic on the motorway will be maintained. In the first phase, works will be performed on the southbound carriageways in the direction of Warsaw, and the traffic will be transferred to the northbound carriageway. Due to the ongoing works, it will also be necessary to implement temporary traffic organization on DK 92 running under the WA39/WA39a overbridge (209 km A2).
The upgrading of the overbridge near Września and the bridge near Słupca is motivated by the care to maintain a high standard of road infrastructure ensuring safe and comfortable driving on the A2 concession section to drivers. The project has been planned in such a way as to improve the load capacity class of the facilities, ensuring safe passage also for the heaviest and most demanding vehicles.

In order to minimize difficulties for drivers, the works were divided into phases, the first one starting on 26 of June this year. The contractor was obliged by the company to complete the works on time. However, please note that that unfavorable weather conditions (strong wind, rainfall, extended winter period, etc.) may affect the time of completion of the works.
