Part of the new tram line to Mistrzejowice will run below ground level. On the route with a total length of over 1.2 km, passengers will find two underground stops – “Rondo Młyńskie” and “Rondo Polsadu”.

Going in the direction of Mistrzejowice, the tram will go underground just before the Młyńskie roundabout, it will cross it in a half-open trench, it will stop at the recessed “Rondo Młyńskie” stop, and before the Polsad roundabout it will enter a tunnel where the underground stop “Rondo Polsad” will be located. It will emerge to the surface before the Barei roundabout and continue towards Mistrzejowice on the surface.

Key figures:

• The total length of the tunnel section will be 1230 m.
• The largest difference in the level of the rail head in relation to the terrain will be approx. 12 m
• The height in the tunnel, after deducting the space for the overhead contact line, will be 4.5 m.
• The length of each underground platform will be 65 m.
• The width of the underground platforms will be 4.5 m

The underground stops in the area of the Młyńskie roundabout and the Polsadu roundabout will be accessible by fixed and escalators, as well as elevators. In the underground spaces, platforms and places for getting on and off are planned, adapted for people with disabilities, including textured surface markings and tactile markings in the Braille language.

A visual information system in the form of suspended direction and information boards will be installed within all underground stops, enabling efficient movement of passengers in selected directions of travel.

In addition, the underground station at the Polsadu roundabout will be equipped with public toilets, including a separate toilet adapted to the needs of people with disabilities. A room for caregivers with children is also planned, equipped with a changing table and a feeding space.

The construction of the tramway to Mistrzejowice is making significant progress. The project site is now being prepared for the foundational work. So, what progress has been achieved in the second month since the work began?

Throughout August, our efforts were focused on site preparation. To ensure a smooth construction process, we began by clearing trees that would have obstructed the future tramway and the reconstruction of underground networks. This tree clearance took place on Meissnera Street, Pilotów Street, Młyńska Street, Lublańska Street (east side), Dobrego Pasterza Street, Krzesławicka Street, Bohomolca Street and Jancarza Street.

Furthermore, we successfully demolished the existing earthen embankment on Krzesławicka Street and initiated the construction of retaining walls. Additionally, we took down several buildings situated on Dobrego Pasterza Street and dismantled an overhead power line, along with its supporting poles. We also cleared away any remaining remnants of previously removed billboards.

The reconstruction of the water mains on the southeast side of the Polsadu Roundabout and along Młyńska Street in the Castorama area is currently ongoing. To serve you better, a container construction office has been established near the Barei Roundabout. An information desk will be set up here soon, where the Contractor’s staff will provide updates on the project, ongoing work, and any traffic disruptions.

So, what can you expect in the coming weeks?

In September, we will commence the reconstruction of the sewer network near the Polsadu Roundabout. Simultaneously, preparations for the working platforms necessary for the construction of slurry walls in this area will begin.

Additionally, we anticipate the removal of trees that have been preserved due to active bird nests or pending analysis, for instance, in the vicinity of Lublańska Street (west side) and Meissnera (near Pszona Street).

Lastly, please note that you have until the end of this month to register for the building inventory within close proximity to the project.
