The route is known as the Via Baltica between Warsaw and Tallinn, with a distance of 970 kilometres (600mi). It is a significant road connection between the Baltic states and Poland.
The Via Baltica attracted great controversy in 2007, as its planned new express road was to take it through several areas in Poland of great natural value. Most controversial was the Augustów bypass, which would take the route through the wetlands of the Rospuda Valley, the last area of its kind remaining in Europe,[citation needed] and an area protected by EU law as part of the European Natura 2000 Network. In July 2007 Polish Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński halted work on the bypass after the European Commission applied for an immediate injunction.[2] After an intense campaign of protests in Poland and abroad and also counter-protests of the local community, the plans have been changed, and now the highway has been rerouted to completely avoid the wilderness area.[3][4] The road was inaugurated on 20 October 2025 in a ceremony led by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda and Polish president Karol Nawrocki at the Lithuania–Poland border.[5]
