Also a part of S6 is 16.3 km (10.1 mi) bypass of Słupsk that was completed in October, 2010. The bypass of Nowogard, was completed in December, 2011
In July, 2010 the route between Goleniów and Słupsk was finalized - it will be about 180 km (110 mi) long, and pass just south of Kołobrzeg and then north of Koszalin.
