Expressway S2 forms part of the southern section of the planned Warsaw Express Ring Road (the eastern section of the ring road is yet to be built) and is also the extension of the A2 Motorway from the west, which will eventually link to the rest of the A2 Motorway east of Warsaw. The road has been planned since the 1970s, initially as part of the A2 Motorway, however after local Warsaw residents objected to the plans of an inner-city motorway, the proposed road was downgraded to an Expressway, though the actual route was not changed. Construction of the first phase of the project was divided into two sections. Work on a 3.9 km stretch between ''Lotnisko'' junction (linking to Expressway S79) and ''Puławska'' junction at the eastern end of this phase of the project began in September 2009,〔http://www.drogi.waw.pl/index.php?p=odcinek&nr=9〕 while construction of the other, 11.1 km long section between the western ''Konotopa'' junction (linking the A2 Motorway and the western portion of the ring road, Expressway S8) and ''Lotnisko'' junction began in the Summer of 2010.〔http://www.drogi.waw.pl/index.php?p=odcinek&nr=8〕 Both sections were scheduled to be completed in mid 2012 in time for the Euro 2012 football championships, however this deadline was not achieved. The S2 Expressway eventually opened in a number of stages, beginning in the west at ''Konotopa'' junction in August 2013, with further sections opening in September 2013, linking the road with Expressway S79 leading to Chopin International Airport. The final part of this phase of the project up to ''Puławska'' junction opened in late September 2013. The second phase of the project will take the S2 Expressway east of ''Puławska'' across the Vistula river connecting the route with the eastern part of the Warsaw Express Ring Road and the continuation of the A2 Motorway eastwards. This phase will be constructed some time between 2014 and 2020. The design-and-build tender for this section (divided into 3 separate contracts) was announced on December 18, 2013, with completion date specified as 41 months from the date contract is signed (not counting 3 winter months).〔(GDDKiA document for tender )〕 This schedule would result in this section being completed by 2019 minimum. == Route description == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expressway S2 (Poland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
