Near Mińsk Mazowiecki

Between the crossing with national road 17 in Warsaw and the junction with national road 50 in Stojadła the national road 2 was completely a priority road (19.4 kilometers (12.1 mi)). In 2011 alterations were made on this section – the traffic signals were installed and in Dębe Wielkie a roundabout has been built.

In August 2012 a motorway bypass of Mińsk Mazowiecki has been opened and the course of road 2 was assigned to that route. On December 17, 2012, by the ordinance of General Director of National Roads and Highways, the old route Choszczówka Stojecka – Mińsk Mazowiecki – Ryczołek (Kałuszyn) was renumbered as the national road 92.[12] In March 2021,[13] by the ordinance of General Director of National Roads and Highways, the section between crossing with national road 17 on the border of Warsaw and Zakręt and Choszczówka Stojecka was renumbered as the national road 92. From east of Mińsk Mazowiecki up to Siedlce (including bypass of the city), the road 2 is completely a priority road (over 50 kilometers (31 mi)).
