The underwater crossing in Gdansk, which consists of two strands of the tunnel, each of which has two lanes, is the first of its kind in the country and one of the largest investments in Pomerania in recent years. Tunnel (part of the Slovak routes linking the airport to the seaport) with a total length of 1.4 km runs under the Dead Vistula River at a depth at its lowest point, almost 35 m.

Mayor of Gdansk Pawel Adamowicz on Sunday said that once a year, on the third Saturday in April, the tunnel will be made available cyclists, to commemorate the opening of the crossing. He believes that “the tunnel has become a showcase of Gdansk.” He estimated that Gdansk investment “dares other Polish cities to build the tunnels.” “It was exceeded in Gdansk a barrier, if we can, if we can we stand by and as you can see, with a good result,” – he explained.

Head of Road and Green (is the operator of the crossing), Mieczyslaw Kotłowski said that when put to use the tunnel, in the center the city was limited movement of trucks above 24 tons. On the main roads of characters set to prevent the trucks enter the city center. Prohibitions stood on the sections al. Army Street. Kartuska, Kielce, Podwale Przedmiejskiego, ul.

Originally the end of the tunnel construction was planned for October 2014. The extension of the investment was influenced by the bankruptcy of three Polish companies, which won the tender for the construction, m.in . Hydrobudowa Poland. The investment was finished Spanish company Obrascon Huarte Lain (OHL). Delay also resulted difficulties in the construction of seven cross pass security linking both strands of the tunnel, which will allow evacuation of drivers from one thread to another, eg. In case of accident or fire.
The cost of building the tunnel along with the nearby roundabout is 885 million zł gross; 85 percent. investment is financed from EU funds. The delay completion of the investment does not affect the increase in construction costs. The contract for construction was signed in October 2011., And work began in the spring of 2012.
