Kosztowy-II-Bielsko-Biała

As of the end of May 2016 there were 6 road options proposed, five of which were already available by June 2008.

At first option IV(D) was preferable. It had to go parallel to Brzeszcze – Oświęcim railway tracks. However, UNESCO protested against the choice, as, in their opinion, it would have crossed the quietness line around the former German concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, and, as the result, UNESCO would have put the camp into the endangered list.

At the beginning of August 2009 the head of Miedźna commune has announced to media his option of the S1 (option VI), that would have gone on the borders of the Miedźna i Bojszowy communes, through the forest. In November 2009 it was accepted by all the local communes. However, GDDKiA rseignated from option VI because of environmental issues. The road would have passed through "Stawy w Brzeszczach" reserve for birds conservation, which was not acceptable.[2]

Option VI

Communes through which the road would have passed according to the option VI
    • Mysłowice (Kosztowy)
    • Lędziny
    • Bieruń
    • Oświęcim (Stare Stawy)
    • Brzeszcze
    • Dankowice
    • Stara Wieś
    • Bielsko-Biała (Suchy Potok) In 2013 the Economical, Technical and Environmental Institution has proposed 4 choices (A, B, C, and D), of which choices A and C were preferred. However, the mining company "Brzeszcze" was against choice C, and "SILESIA" mining enterprise against A. As a compromise, GDDKIA promised to work on the additional option "E". Preparatory works for DŚU were done by 7 January 2015. In March 2015 choice "E" was chosen as preferred. In June the same year Regional Directorate of the Environment Protection in Katowice has asked GDDKiA to give out the environmental decision for the section.

Option V

Communes through which the road would have passed according to the option V
    • Mysłowice (Kosztowy)
    • Lędziny
    • Bieruń
    • Międzyrzecze
    • Gilowice
    • Miedźna
    • Bestwinka
    • Kaniów
    • Dankowice
    • Stara Wieś
    • Bielsko-Biała (Suchy Potok)

The project will cost approximately 1.437 bln złotych.[3]
