Mistrzejowice Tram Loop

Dear Residents,

In response to numerous questions regarding the opening date of the tram loop in Mistrzejowice, we would like to inform you that it will be available in the spring.

Our initial goal was to open the loop for passenger traffic in March. December forecasts predicted a mild winter, giving hope for smooth progress of the works. However, since December 20, weather conditions have significantly hindered the schedule. Low temperatures caused the ground to freeze to a depth of approximately 50 cm, making it impossible to carry out key installation works.

For the loop to operate safely and efficiently, the final technical works must be completed. These include, among others, the installation of control and turnout heating systems, adjustment of the overhead line network, and connection of the section along Jancarza Street.

We would like to remind you that the contractual deadline for completing the entire project is the end of the second quarter of this year.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Progress on The Construction Site: January 2026

Another month of construction on KST-4 is behind us!

Although January greeted us with exceptionally low temperatures, work has not slowed down!

For nearly two weeks, traffic on Meissnera Street has been running on the western carriageway, while demolition works have already begun on the eastern one. Although sub-zero temperatures have prevented us from carrying out road works, our engineers remain busy on other fronts. We are building stormwater and sanitary sewage systems, dismantling old surfaces, and carrying out earthworks and reinforced concrete works at the tunnel exits. In addition, a lot is also happening inside the tunnel, where, among other things, we are installing the track system.

We encourage you to watch the latest footage from the construction site and listen to Wojciech Janosz, our construction manager, who will give a detailed account of the activities carried out over the past month.

The first escalators installed at Rondo Polsad!

This week, the first escalators were installed at the Rondo Polsad station.


The station will have four entrances: two located on both sides of Młyńska Street, and two more on Lublańska Street — one at the intersection with Promienistych Street, and the other near the office buildings. Thanks to this layout, passengers will be able to reach the station safely and comfortably from every side of Rondo Polsad.

Access to the facility, which is approximately 20 meters deep, will be provided by five elevators, six pairs of escalators, and six sets of traditional open staircases.

The station design was consulted with the Consultative Team for the Accessibility of Municipal Infrastructure for People with Disabilities, operating under the District Social Council for People with Disabilities at the Mayor of Kraków. Thanks to clear guidelines, we were able to adapt the facility to the needs of people with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, and people who are visually impaired or blind. Special emphasis was placed on eliminating potential barriers on the station platforms. Warning strips with a changed texture and contrasting colours will appear at the platform edges and before each descent to the underground platforms (near staircases).

Rondo Polsad Station is a two-level interchange hub — undoubtedly one of the most impressive parts of the KST IV project!

Progress in the Renovation of Dobrego Pasterza Street

The completion of works on Dobrego Pasterza is getting closer!

Only a few days remain until the street is reopened — we’re planning it for December 5 at 22:00. What have we done over the past week?

  • Bituminous layers have been laid on 300 meters of the roadway, and by Thursday we will finish the remaining 450 meters.
  • Tomorrow, December 2, we will complete the construction of the curbs.
  • We are finalising work on the tram tracks — the tram crossing near Biedronka is already finished, and the one at Krzesławicka Street will be completed by the end of the week.
  • By the end of the week, we will also prepare the traffic organisation — vertical signs and road markings. We are also finishing work on the bus bays. Due to the required 28-day curing period after concreting, buses will still have to stop on the roadway for a few more weeks (except for the bay near the Municipal Guard building, which was completed earlier).

We’re really close now – thank you for sticking with us!

Breakthrough of the Tunnel on the Mistrzejowice Tram Line – Further Progress on the KST-IV Project

Krakow’s Mistrzejowice Tram Tunnel: Impressive Progress Brings Us Closer To The Finish Line! 

The tunnel in the central section of the tram line to Mistrzejowice is the most labour-intensive part of the construction. It will be a key part of the city’s new tram infrastructure, starting from the Chałupnika Street and passing through Młyńskie Roundabout in a semi-cutting, and finally entering a fully enclosed tunnel just before Polsad Roundabout. It will allow the tram to safely pass beneath the city, while minimizing disruption on the surface.  

After months of intensive work, we’ve successfully broken through the southern section of the tunnel. With the continuous operation of three Long Arm excavators, our team achieved a daily excavation output of 600 m³, working six days a week, from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM – a testament to dedication and teamwork. 

Thanks to early groundwater management, work proceeded smoothly, and the tunnel has already reached a depth of 14 meters at Młyńska Boczna Street. Simultaneously, temporary bracing of diaphragm walls is underway to prepare the site for a stormwater pumping station four meters below the future track level. 

A Major Achievement! 

We now have over one kilometer of continuous tunnel, with only a single remaining section left to excavate, on Pilotów Street, near the music school. Excavation on this section is planned to be completed in just two weeks, by December 3, 2025. 

The breakthrough was summarized by the construction manager, Wojciech Janosz
“This is a major milestone for the project. Completing this section of the tunnel is the result of harmonious teamwork among many specialists and represents an impressive technological achievement.” 

As we approach the completion date, we will see more and more visible progress. This is especially impressive given the complexity of building in the heart of the city. With each passing day, we get closer to the finish line, and soon the results of this enormous effort will become fully visible.
