A major renovation of ul. 28 Czerwca 1956 r. in Poznań's Wilda district will begin on Saturday, 14th November 2026. The project covers a 700-metre stretch between ul. Krzyżowa and ul. Hetmańska, bringing new tram tracks, upgraded stops and improvements to roads and pavements.
The existing tram infrastructure, which has received only localised repairs in recent years, will be completely replaced. The work includes new tracks, track beds and overhead wiring, alongside acoustic mats designed to reduce tram noise.
Better tram stops and improved accessibility
The Kosińskiego and Pamiątkowa stops will be redesigned to make boarding trams easier, particularly for older passengers and people with reduced mobility.
Both stops will receive passenger information displays, benches and bins, while their surrounding areas will also be improved. The changes should be particularly helpful for patients travelling to the nearby hospital.
The project will also include renewed road surfaces and pavements, additional greenery and improvements to underground water and sewage infrastructure. Much of the underground work will use trenchless technology to limit excavation.
Road closures and tram disruption
During construction, ul. 28 Czerwca 1956 r. will be closed to general traffic between ul. Krzyżowa and ul. Hetmańska. Access to local properties will remain possible.
Work will be carried out in stages to reduce disruption. According to MPK Poznań, temporary traffic arrangements and public transport changes are currently being prepared and details of replacement services are yet to be announced.
Tram services are expected to resume in August 2027, with the entire project scheduled for completion in early 2028.
Faster journeys between Wilda and the city centre
The renovation is expected to improve the reliability, comfort and accessibility of tram services in Wilda. Combined with the planned tram route along ul. Ratajczaka, it should also make journeys between Wilda and central Poznań quicker and more efficient, MPK Poznań says.
The project means some disruption over the coming months, but ultimately a quieter, more accessible and modern transport route.
