Farmers’ protest in the area of Świecko interchange – traffic problems can be expected

A farmers’ protest in the area of Świecko has been announced for 25 February this year (Sunday), starting from 13:00. The protest’s organiser announces a blockade of National Road 2 in both directions on the section between the Świecko interchange and the state border crossing.

The protest might cause significant traffic disruptions, both in the municipality of Słubice and on the A2 motorway for the outbound traffic from Poland. In order to minimise the effects of the blockade, Autostrada Wielkopolska, in consultation with the Police and the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, has decided on the possibility of undertaking the following changes to the traffic management arrangements in the event of obstruction:

• heavy traffic will be redirected to the S3 expressway at Jordanowo interchange (at the 68th km of the motorway, poviat of Świebodzin),
• passenger cars will be able to travel to Świecko interchange (at the 2 km of the motorway, poviat of Świebodzin), where the traffic will be redirected to National Road 29,
• In addition, at Rzepin interchange (at the 20 km of the motorway, poviat of Słubice) the west-bound entry slip will be closed.

Traffic congestion may be expected at the above locations. All motorway services will be working on high alert. There will also be additional transport on the main motorway route. Motorists are asked to exercise extreme caution and keep the above situation in mind when planning their travel time and choosing border crossing location.
