I live in Żyrardów -- a town located about 25 miles west from Warsaw. Near my town one can find small parts of an old (lost) motorway -- Olimpijka. It was supposed to be built for 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow and to connect Moscow and Berlin. But only small part was finished, only about 50 km, now a part of the A2 highway. The rest of this highway at the moment consists of some bridges, partially built overpasses and 250 yards of tarmac. I always liked such places, so we tried to find as many as possible.
We started over a year ago, in april/may 2007. The first thing we found was that tarmac, followed with mud road cut in a forest and a overpass.
The road in the forest doesn't look spectacular.
I also made a movie of the tarmac. Here it is:
We found two more interesting spots on last sunday. I should probably say that we found them earlier on satellite photos and simply drove there using the GPS coordinates.

This was supposed to be an overpass of the highway above planned railway track. Eventually the highway was not built, nor was the track.
We also visited a concrete bridge built over a small creak. Nothing very spectacular.
You can find more photos in my picasa web album.
If you'd like to visit those places, I can provide you with the GPS coordinates. Just write a comment here. :)
