Summary of the work in June

Connecting the Dominikański Sudole to a new riverbed, or reconstruction of the tram terminus to Mistrzejowice. There was a lot of progress in the construction of the Fast Tram in June!

On 6 and 20 June, a session of the Construction Council was held, attended by representatives of the Private Partner and local government entities, including the Council of Districts III Prądnik Czerwony and XV Mistrzejowice, as well as interested residents.

On June 24, the tram terminus in Mistrzejowice was closed. The scope of work is enormous, intensive earthworks are being carried out. The reconstruction of the teletechnical network and the underground sanitary and rainwater sewage system is underway. It is also planned to demolish the MPK building at the terminus. Sapper supervision is still underway over the area in connection with the unexploded ordnance landfill found. A team of specialists takes care of the safety of residents.

Works on Sudole Dominikański have been completed. Since 26 June, the underground river has been flowing in a new current.

The construction of a new underground channel is one of the biggest engineering challenges we have ever faced. Work in the city requires precise planning to disrupt the daily lives of residents as little as possible and at the same time ensure efficient organization on the construction site, says Lidia Śmierzchalska, the construction works manager

In addition, it was possible to minimize the difficulties on Klemensa Janickiego Street. They were caused by the reconstruction of the heat pipeline network.

Works related to the reconstruction of the power grid near the transformer station at Dobrego Pasterza Street have also been completed. The works began on June 17 and lasted for 2 weeks.

On 12 June, the Mayor of Krakow, Aleksander Miszalski, personally checked the progress of works as part of the KST4 investment. The Mayor met with the main contractor, representatives of the Private Partner and journalists at the construction site.

On 9 July, the reconstruction of the power grid at 120-122 Dobrego Pasterza Street began. On the same day, works began on the section from Ugorek Street to the crossing in the area of KS Wieczysta. The scope of works concerns the heating network.

In June, we made significant progress in the implementation of infrastructure projects related to the modernization of energy and heating networks. The overconnection of the Dominikański Sudole to the new riverbed has been completed and intensive work has begun on the tram terminus in Mistrzejowice. The discovery of unexploded ordnance from World War II requires special caution from us. Our priority is to ensure the full safety of all residents and employees, which may affect the course of the work. We are doing our best to meet these challenges and monitor progress on an ongoing basis.

We would like to sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the implementation of these tasks. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Organization of bicycle and pedestrian traffic

In connection with the commencement of the next stage of construction as part of the Tram to Mistrzejowice project, from 17 July changes will be made to pedestrian and bicycle routes in the area of Meissnera, Młyńska and Dobrego Pasterza streets.

Along the eastern part of Meissnera Street, on the section from Sttaniec Street to the Młyńskiego roundabout, a separate pavement and a bicycle path will be transformed into a common pedestrian and bicycle route.

Between the Młyńskie roundabout and the Polsadu roundabout, the possibility of pedestrian traffic will be maintained, and bicycle traffic will be redirected by a detour in general traffic from Pilotów Street to Bora-Komorowskiego Avenue.

On the south-western side of the flyover, a bicycle crossing and a pedestrian crossing will be restored (access only to the construction site). The crossing will allow cyclists to join the existing bicycle path on the western side of the flyover.

Along the northern part of Dobrego Pasterza Street, on the section from the Barei roundabout to Aliny Street, a separate pavement and a bicycle path will be transformed into a common pedestrian and bicycle route.

The new traffic organization will be introduced on July 17, from 7.00 a.m.

The Sudół Dominikański flows with a new current

Work on Sudół Dominikański  has been completed – the underground river is already flowing with a new current. At the end of June, the waters of the stream were introduced into a chamber in the area of Miechowity Street, and then flowed through the entire length of the newly built canal, i.e. 388.65 m (including chambers approx. 400 meters). The reconstruction of Sudół Dominikański was one of the most difficult engineering tasks of the first stage of construction.

The project related to the construction of a tram line to Mistrzejowice assumed the liquidation of the existing fragment of the Sudół Dominikański stream on the section from the intersection of Młyńska Street and Macieja Miechowity Street to the connection with the canal running from the Młyńskie roundabout to the Prądnik River. At the end of June, Gülermak, the general contractor of the Tram to Mistrzejowice, reconnected the river current to a new riverbed. The reconstruction of this section of Sudole Dominikański cost about PLN 30 million.

The construction of a new underground channel is one of the biggest engineering challenges we have ever faced. Work in the city requires precise planning to disturb the daily life of residents as little as possible and at the same time ensure efficient organization on the construction site – says Lidia Śmierzchalska, construction works manager.

Sudół Dominikański will now run under some of the pavements and roadways. The river changed its location by about 8-10 meters to the west. It flows in a specially prepared riverbed, which consists of 189 prefabricated elements with a length of 2.0 m and an internal cross-section of 2.25 x 3.0 m. The weight of a single element is as much as 10.8 tons. Gülermak engineers chose the technology, using prefabricated elements that were joined directly on site. Thanks to this, it was possible to stage the works as part of the project and minimize the nuisance for residents.

Sudół Dominikański in the previous current ran exactly in the place where we are building the tunnel and the new road system.  This work front is now available to us. Thanks to this, by the end of August, we will build the western part of the roadway by the new Sudole Dominikański canal. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be redirected from the eastern part to free up space for the construction of the tunnel. As a result, we will be constructing diaphragm walls on the section Młyńskie roundabout – Polsadu roundabout – says Krzysztof Dziobek, contract director.

Intensification of works on the Mistrzejowice terminus

Meanwhile, intensive work is underway on the final section of the 4.5-kilometer tram line. In the area of the Mistrzejowice terminus, the voltage in the overhead contact line has been switched off. The wires were removed and the poles were dismantled.  From Monday, June 24, the loop has been out of use. Work is underway on the dismantling of the track, which involves, among others: cutting rails, dismantling sleepers, unfastening rails from sleepers. Work is underway to remove the entire track infrastructure from the Mistrzejowice loop in order to start troughing the track for the new track. All works are carried out under constant sapper supervision, which will last until the end of works in this area.
