Dear Residents,
Please be informed that on Monday and Tuesday (November 3–4, 2025), from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the entrance to the housing estate on Załuskich Street will be closed.
Access will be possible via the neighboring estate roads from Bohomolca Street.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
We would like to inform you that from tomorrow, October 29, 2025, until Friday, October 31, 2025, the entrance to and exit from Jerzy Bajan Street onto Pilotów Street will be closed.
We apologise for the inconvenience and ask that you exercise caution when driving in the construction area.
We would like to inform you that tonight, October 27, 2025 (from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.), work will be carried out on John Paul II Avenue involving the dismantling of the old heating network. Bus traffic will be maintained.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
We would like to inform you that starting next Monday, November 3, 2025, a change in traffic organization will be introduced on Bohomolca Street. Due to construction work related to the creation of a right-turn lane into the Oświecenia Estate, the right traffic lane will be closed.
Turning right will still be possible from the left lane.
Due to the construction of a district heating network carried out by MPEC Kraków for the NOHO development, we inform that from October 24 to 26, temporary traffic disruptions may occur in the area of the entrance from Mogilska Street to Czyżyńska Street.
We kindly ask all drivers and pedestrians to exercise extra caution and follow the temporary traffic arrangements in place during the works.
At the same time, we inform that no interruptions in hot water supply are expected in connection with these works.
We have already laid 6,000 square meters of sedum mats out of the planned 15,000. This is an important milestone for our project – the solution will bring many benefits both for the natural environment and for residents. Thanks to the sedum, it will be quieter, more aesthetically pleasing, and more ecological!
The aesthetic value of green tram tracks is undeniable – as a natural element of urban space, they look far more attractive than concrete surfaces. Sedums, plants of the genus Sedum, are particularly pleasing to the eye. The effect is visible immediately, as the mats are unrolled like a green carpet – without the need for planting. In addition, they shimmer with many colours thanks to the flowering leaves – from green, through golden, to red and orange in the autumn. The colour palette of a sedum-covered track thus changes with every season.
Aesthetics aren’t everything. A tram track covered with sedum also has numerous ecological and social benefits. Instead of a loud, dusty track made of concrete or gravel, sedum reduces noise, dust, and vibrations caused by passing trams. It acts as a natural sound absorber – studies show it can reduce tram noise by 2–4 dB*.
Sedum mats also absorb rainwater – they can retain up to 50% of precipitation**. This relieves the city’s drainage system (extending its lifespan and lowering maintenance costs) and minimizes the effects of heavy rainfall. The retained water is then released gradually, reducing the risk of flooding urban infrastructure. Additionally, the mats capture some pollutants, dust, and heavy metals, improving air quality for residents living near the tracks.
Unlike concrete tracks, sedum does not heat up to such high temperatures. This helps lower the temperature around the tracks, which is especially important in dense urban areas during summer. In turn, this helps reduce the so-called urban heat island effect, where built-up areas heat up significantly more than surrounding regions.
In Kraków, green tram tracks can already be seen on many sections, for example between Rondo Grzegórzeckie and Mały Płaszów, or between Grota-Roweckiego and the Czerwone Maki depot. Compared to the grass used in those areas, sedum offers additional benefits. It is much easier to maintain – it doesn’t require mowing or watering. Only occasional cleaning and fertilizing are needed. This solution therefore helps the city save both on maintenance costs and on the natural resources needed to care for greenery.
The tram to Mistrzejowice is an investment designed with the environment in mind – it aims not only to provide faster access to the city center, but also to bring more greenery into urban space. This project improves public transport while contributing to Kraków’s sustainable development. Together, we are creating a city where public transport goes hand in hand with care for the landscape and nature.

We would like to inform you that starting from Saturday (October 4th at 6:00 AM), the roundabout traffic at Barei Roundabout will be restored. Traffic on the streets leading from the roundabout will operate in both directions.
On Lublańska Street, traffic will run on the new roadway.
We would like to inform you that starting from Thursday (October 2nd at 6:00 AM), changes will be introduced to the traffic flow on Bohomolca Street. The bypass on Bohomolca Street will be extended up to the intersection with Kniaźnina Street.
Starting Saturday (September 27, 2025, from 6:00 AM), changes will be introduced to the traffic flow on Pilotów Street. Due to construction work on the southern roadway, vehicles will be redirected to the newly built northern roadway. Traffic will flow in both directions.
We kindly ask drivers to exercise caution and pay close attention to the signage.
We would like to inform you that, due to pedestrian safety concerns during ongoing construction work, we have been forced to close sidewalks along certain sections. Below is a list of changes introduced to pedestrian traffic.
Pedestrian Route from Barei Roundabout to Polsad Roundabout
The pedestrian route from Barei Roundabout towards Polsad Roundabout, along the tunnel on Lublańska Street, has been closed. The work will last for two days, until tomorrow (Friday, September 19th) in the afternoon.
Meissnera Street – Section from Pszona Street to Młyńskie Roundabout
The sidewalk along the eastern side of Meissnera Street (from Pszona Street to Młyńskie Roundabout) will be closed. Pedestrians will be redirected to the sidewalk on the western side, running from Chałupnika Street to Młyńskie Roundabout.
This closure will remain in place for one month.
Meissnera Street – Northern Side
From September 17, 2025, until the first week of October, the sidewalk on the northern side of Mogilska Street leading to Meissnera Street will be closed. The southern side of the crossing will remain open.
