Chorzów Overpass Closure: City Center Paralyzed, Reopening in 2029?

Chorzów Overpass Closure: City Faces Difficult Decision Chorzów, Poland – A major artery through the city center, the Chorzów overpass, is currently closed due to structural damage. The closure, announced several days ago by local authorities, has caused significant disruption to traffic and local businesses. A video posted online by a local resident, Łowca Ruin, shows the extent of the closure and the resulting impact. "The entire city's infrastructure is paralyzed," stated Łowca Ruin in his video, highlighting the deserted tram stop, usually bustling with people. The video depicts barricades, signs warning of the danger of collapse, and the overall deserted feel of the area. City officials are currently evaluating the situation, considering two main options: extensive repairs or complete demolition and reconstruction. The estimated reopening date, should repairs be chosen, is 2029. The video shows the impact on local businesses, including those located under the overpass. While the situation is challenging, city officials assure residents that they are working to mitigate the impact on businesses. The closure is a significant event for Chorzów, and the city's response will be closely watched by residents and commuters alike. The hope is for a swift resolution, minimizing disruption to the city's daily life.
