PKP PLK is gradually carrying out renovations to the railway viaducts. The next phase of work will require the reopening of the underpass on Piłsudskiego Street in Sosnowiec (the area around the Women's Rights Roundabout), which will mean changes to tram and bus routes.

The viaduct will be closed from November 15th to December 13th. A number of changes will be introduced to public transport in the area. These will affect bus routes 91, 299, 723, 808, 813, and 835, as well as metropolitan lines M4 and M17. Tram routes will have their routes or timetables changed for routes 15, 21, 28, 34, and 36. Tram route 26 will be suspended. Tram route 45 will be reinstated, and the Z-45 replacement bus route will be extended to the Sosnowiec Piłsudskiego/Sobieskiego stop. Replacement bus route Z-21 will resume service on the Milowice Sports Hall – Sosnowiec City Hall route (via Pogoń).

Detailed information regarding public transport operations is available on the GZM Transport website in the Announcements section. Travellers can also benefit from helpline consultants (800 16 30 30), which is free and open 24 hours a day.

Passengers will face significant disruptions this coming Tuesday. The changes will affect nearly 60 bus lines, 11 tram lines, and replacement bus services. These changes are due to a demonstration organized by the Solidarity trade union.

The "Star March" will begin at 3:30 PM, with participants departing from several districts of Katowice. Columns of unionists will gather around 5:00 PM in front of the Silesian Voivodeship Office on Jagiellońska Street, where the main gathering is scheduled. This means the need to introduce changes in the traffic of almost 60 bus lines: AP, M2, M4, M10, M11, M12, M13, M22, M23, M25, M28, 0, 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 23, 27, 30, 40, 43, 50, 51, 61, 70, 110, 115, 133, 154, 168, 177, 193, 296, 297, 600, 601, 657, 672, 673, 674, 800, 805, 807, 808, 813, 814, 817, 835, 900, 910, 911, 920, 930, 950, 11 tram lines: 0, 6, 7, 11, 13, 15, 16, 20, 36, 41, 46, and replacement bus line Z210. These lines will operate on different routes than usual. Some stops will be omitted and services suspended, but four replacement stops will be in place to minimize disruptions for passengers. The changes will be in effect from approximately 2:30 PM to approximately 7:30 PM.

Before leaving home for the bus stop, please read the special announcement: Katowice – public gathering organized by the Śląsko-Dąbrowski Region NSZZ Solidarność - ZTM Announcements. Due to the nature of the event, additional changes may be introduced. Those interested can also call the toll-free, 24/7 hotline at 800 16 30 30.

On Monday, November 3rd, renovations to the Tarnowskie Góry bus station will begin. The departure points for individual buses will change, and accessibility features will be added.

The work will be carried out gradually. It will begin at point 1, on the side of Pokoju and Częstochowska Streets, and will end at the "disembarkation" platform (the section from the exit lane on Pokoju Street to point 6).

During the closure of points 1-4, buses will depart from point 6. The approximate duration of each closure is two days. During the closure of point 6, bus departures will be moved to point 4. The planned duration of this part of the project is a minimum of seven days.

Temporarily closing individual platforms will restrict traffic at the bus station, so minibuses on routes 744, 745, 746, and 749 will be redirected to the nearby Tarnowskie Góry Plac Zembali stop.

After the project is completed, the Tarnowskie Góry bus station will be more accessible to people with special needs. Renovations include the creation of platform guidance paths for the visually impaired and blind, new horizontal and vertical signage, and changes to the geometry of bus ramps at platform no. 6 to allow buses to reach the edge of the platform.

The work at the Tarnowskie Góry station is scheduled for the end of November. The completion date will depend on weather conditions.
