Pavement rehabilitation on the A2 motorway in the area of Buk

On 18 August the mainline pavement rehabilitation on the A2 motorway between Nowy Tomyśl and Poznań will enter another phase. It will involve closing to traffic of part of the southern carriageway in a ca. 6-km section (between km 134 and km 140 of A2) and the exit slip roads at the Buk interchange. As of 18 August it will be possible to exit the motorway to drivers coming from Świecko and as of 22 August – to drivers coming from Poznań. Rehabilitation works at Buk interchange will necessitate detours. Drivers are requested to be particularly alert and to abide by the temporary traffic organization signs.

Autostrada Wielkopolska has been performing a long-term heavy maintenance program, in line with the time schedule and approved deadlines for the section Nowy Tomyśl – Poznań Zachód (West). In order to minimize the works' impact on traffic and the drivers' comfort, the works have been phased. After works were completed in the area of the Nowy Tomyśl interchange, rehabilitation has been progressing in the mainline heading towards Poznań. Another phase to commence on 18 August involves rehabilitation of the Buk interchange (at ca. km 140 of A2).

In parallel, works will be performed in the mainline southern carriageway, in the section of ca. 6 km (between km 134+320 and km 140+260). This means that entire traffic will be directed to the northern carriageway which will be used by drivers in both directions.

The rehabilitation works of the bituminous pavement in the section Nowy Tomyśl – Poznań stem from the concessionaire's care to maintain high quality of the road and trip safety and comfort to drivers. Autostrada Wielkopolska motorway is the longest and most driven motorway section in Poland. A large share of this traffic are heavy goods vehicles, which naturally contribute to more wear and tear and more frequent need to rehabilitate the pavement.
