A small railroad viaduct is a big problem for Uniejowska street users. The Łódź Kaliska - Tuplice railway and the road intersect at two different collision-free levels, but the width of the road is reduced to a minimum. Thus the traffic has to be controlled by the traffic lights, only one way at a time. Moreover the height of the overpass is too small for some heavy trucks and they get stuck under the structure while trying to pass. Unfortunately, the widening of the viaduct would be difficult because of the structure of the abutments and intensive traffic under it.
