Expressway S51 or Express road S51 is a major road in Poland that is going to connect Olsztyn with the express road S7 in Olsztynek. The length will be 25 km (16 mi) and is going to lay entirely in the Warmian-Masurian voivodeship. The majority of Expressway S51 will shadow the current national road 51. In September 2012 the part of the expressway forming the 12 km (7.5 mi) bypass of Olsztynek and its connection to the S7 expressway was opened to traffic whilst the finishing works to this stretch of the expressway were done over October 2012.
Express road S51 has been continuously part of Polish plans for express roads network since 2004.[1] In February 2008 the Olsztyn division of GDDKIA revealed the construction project of expressway S51. This expressway is to be constructed between 2010 and 2012 and also was included in the Operational Program of Infrastructure and the Environment.
