History
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 investment was delayed. The section was constructed in the design-build system starting late 2015 and early 2016, and the road was opened to traffic in 2019 and 2020.The road southeast of Lublin has smaller traffic density and received a lower priority, except for the bypass of Tomaszów Lubelski which was opened in 2021. Opening of the expressway between Piaski and Ukraine's border is expected from 2026 until 2028 depending on the section. In January 2024 contractors were selected to build two sections of the segment between Piaski and Zamość with completion planned for 2027. Three sections between Zamość and Hrebenne are currently under construction, with completion planned for 2027.
