context_page_description: Expressway S17 or express road S17 is a major road in Poland which, when completed, will run from Warsaw through Lublin to the border crossing with Ukraine at Hrebenne/Rava-Ruska. Its route runs parallel to national road 17 which it is going to replace. As of January 2020, 159.8 km out of planned 310 km have been completed. Those are the main section running from Kołbiel to Piaski and a short bypass of Hrebenne.
  The joint section of S12 and S17, including the bypass of Lublin, was constructed in years 2011 – 2014. The section between Warsaw and Lublin was to be finished by 2015, but with subsequent reductions in government spending on infrastructure, the construction was delayed. The design-build tenders were started in September 2013 and the contracts were signed in late 2015 and early 2016. The last fragments of this section are expected to open to traffic in 2020.
  The road southeast of Lublin has smaller traffic density and received a lower priority, except for the bypass of Tomaszów Lubelski which is to be opened in 2021. The plan from 2019 projects that the road would be completed in 2025.
context_section_description: In Warsaw, the S17 expressway will serve as the eastern bypass of the city.  Apart from the southernmost section from Lubelska to Zakręt, which is currently under construction as part of the upgrade of the current National Road DK17 and is scheduled to open in 2021, the construction timetable is not yet set and will depend on government budget decisions.
