Expressway S2 forms part of the southern section of the planned Warsaw Express Ring Road and is also the extension of the motorway A2 from the west, which will eventually link to the rest of the motorway A2, east of Warsaw. At present, about one half of the road (the western section) has been built, while the other half (the eastern section) is scheduled to be completed in August 2020. The road has been planned since the 1970s, initially as part of a motorway, however after local Warsaw residents objected to the plans of an inner-city motorway, the proposed road was downgraded to an expressway, though the actual route was not changed.
