History

Today's A18 mid-1930s had already been Berlin -Breslau created as part of the Reich Autobahn 9 ( on the German side today, A13 and A15) in the then German Silesia. The track was a single lane (southern road ), where she was already prepared for the full extension (for example, the bridges were built wider or there was room for the second half of the road left ). Only the short section of Lipiany ( Linden ) to the present junction with the A4 on motorway junctions Krzyżowa was already running on two tracks.

1993 was built between the exit Królów and the border crossing Forestry / Olszyna to 9.5 km, the previously existing roadway in northern motorway standard. However, the renovation and expansion of the Südfahrbahn in this section was performed.

1995 was followed by the two-sided renovation of the 7 km long section between Golnice and the motorway junction Krzyżowa, who had previously exhibited dual carriageways. This section was until 2001 part of the A12, which ran in the A4 at the junction of Krzywa Golnice up to that transition.

As of 2004, the continuous construction of the North carriageway of the A18 between Golnice and Królów was continued. The construction work was divided into 4 sections. The work was completed in mid-2006 and cost around 398 million zlotys.
