Expressway S52 is a Polish highway under construction with a planned length of 116 km (72 mi), located in the Silesian and Lesser Poland voivodeships. Upon completion it will connect the border of the Czech Republic in Cieszyn (along with the D48 motorway) with Kraków.
The section from the border with the Czech Republic to Bielsko-Biała is completed. From Bielsko-Biała to Głogoczów (joining with the dual-carriageway national road 7 towards Kraków) the road is in preparation, planned to get completed in 2031.[1]
The separate section also numbered S52 is the northern bypass of Kraków, which is planned to be completed in late 2024.
Road numbering
Before 2016, the section from Bielsko-Biała to the state border in Cieszyn was part of the expressway S1. This section was renumbered to S52 when the S1 was rerouted over expressway S69.
From 1999 to 2004, the first constructed section of Kraków northern bypass (from interchange with A4 in Balice to Modlniczka) was designated as the A41 motorway,[2] although the route number was not shown on maps and road atlases at that time.[3]
