The motorway includes the 122-metre (400 ft) high Rędziński Bridge over the Oder river.

Initial plans had the A8 motorway ran the entire route between Wrocław and Łódź, with a southern portion of the road continuing towards the Czech Republic to provide access to Prague.

However, after forming a government following its victory, the party abandoned the idea, explaining that the required changes in planning would unacceptably delay the construction by many years.

[2] On 1 September 2011, the Ministry of Infrastructure published draft regulation on the motorway's tolling.

According to the ministry, the A8 motorway will not be subject to tolling for motorists,[3] however the entire route of the motorway is subject to electronic toll collection system mandatory for vehicles heavier then 3.5 tons, known as e-TOLL.
