caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Straße DK 18 in Polen (Reichsautobahn RAB 9 Berlin-Breslau) Polski: Droga krajowa nr 18, dawna Reichsautobahn RAB 9 (oryginalna nitka południowa z lat 1936-1938)
context_page_description: Autostrada A18 is a short, planned motorway in southwestern Poland which is to run from the Polish/German border at Olszyna/Forst-Bademeusel to the Polish Autostrada A4. The highway is part of the European route E36 and the Pan-European corridor IIIA from Berlin to Wrocław.
  After completion, the A18 should be 78 km long. The stretch currently opened and signed as A18 from Golnice to the A4 is 7 km long. The remaining 71 km currently exists as a dual-carriageway road not up to motorway standards and not officially signed as such: the west-bound carriageway is of a motorway quality, while the east-bound carriageway is in a very bad shape with most of its surface still being the concrete slabs laid in the 1930s. Its full modernization to motorway standard along the entire length is planned for years 2020 – 2023.
