S3 express road
The autostrada A6 in Poland is a 22 km (14 mi) long motorway that starts at the Polish/German border at Kołbaskowo/Pomellen connecting to the German A11 autobahn. It forms a southern bypass of the Szczecin metropolitan area, and terminates to the east of that city where it becomes the S3 express road to Świnoujście. Another 8 km (5 mi) of the S3 road will be redesignated as A6, once improvement work is carried out. The motorway is a part of the European route E28.
The motorway had its beginning as part of the Reichsautobahn system built by Germany in the 1930s, as part of a planned motorway connection from Berlin through the "Polish Corridor" to Königsberg in East Prussia (present-day Kaliningrad, Russia). Construction works proceeded up to Rummelsburg (Miastko) after the 1939 Invasion of Poland, but finally discontinued in 1942 due to the World War II impact. After the war, the highway sections that together with the surrounding area became a part of Poland were dubbed Berlinka. The post-1945 borders meant that the need for a high-capacity road connection on that route disappeared and even though much of the construction work was already done, it was not continued by the postwar Polish government.
