On April 19 this year, the Lublin Branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) announced that the Lublin Voivode had issued a decision on a permit for the implementation of a road investment (ZRID) for the construction of the second carriageway of the Kock and Wola Skromowska bypass along the S19 road, approximately 8 km long.
They will build the second carriageway of the bypass for over PLN 183 million.

The investment is being carried out by Polaqua, and the value of the contract is PLN 183.4 million.
"More and more black color on the construction site of the second carriageway of the Kock and Wola Skromowska bypass. The bituminous layer of the substructure has been laid on almost half of the section. The works are advanced at approx. 70 percent, " GDDKiA recently calculated.
She added that in addition to the second carriageway of the bypass, two bridges will also be built over the Wieprz and Tyśmienica rivers, two viaducts, five animal crossings and roads to service local traffic. The Kock Północ and Kock Południe junctions will also be rebuilt.
The single-lane bypass was built in 2011 and was the first expressway in the Lublin province . However, it was designed with the later construction of a second lane in mind, which should be ready in May 2026.

Apart from the aforementioned construction of the second carriageway of the Kock and Wola Skromowska bypass , construction works are already underway on the Lubartów-Lublin section and, more recently, on the section between the border of the Lublin and Mazovian voivodeships and Międzyrzec Podlaski .
GDDKiA is still waiting for the ZRID decision to be issued for the following sections:
- Międzyrzec Podlaski-Radzyń Podlaski,
