Which route is the quickest from Warsaw to Wroclaw? [6]
1st option:Warsaw - Piotrkow Trybunalski - Belchatow - Walichnowy - WroclawYou can go to Piotrkow Trybunalski then Wielun, Walichnowy and from there travel the old road No. 8 to Wroclaw. It is still the most popular route. With the car you can complete the entire route in 4.5 hours. Of course, much depends on the traffic which is big there, because the old "eight" is the truck drivers favorite route. There are many speed cameras on this road. Most between Wielun and Piotrkow. Well also traffic jams, especially long drive through Wielun. And it should be noted that in Belchatow we can lose 20 minutes at only one traffic light.
The capital section of the S8 should be ready in December 2015, but probably it will take much longer.
2nd option:Warsaw - Poddebice - Sieradz - Walichnowy - WroclawWe start the route from the A2 highway toward Wroclaw. After driving 150 km we exit at the interchange near Wartkowice and head to Wroclaw by Walichnowy. Recently, drivers are passing a new 105 km expressway from town Walichnowy to Wroclaw. Lately S8 route was extended to 45 km - section from the town Walichnowy to Sycow. With the open fragment of the S8 expressway we can get to Wroclaw faster than we used to before. We pay highway tolls in amount of 4 zł (from Strykow to Poddebice). Be careful on the section A2 to Poddebica - unmarked police cars with mobile speed cameras.
This seems to be fastest route now - less than 4 hours.

Just don't go through Lodz - big traffic over there.
After they complete S8 and A1 (2017?) all the route will get through fast roads, and it take 3 hours or less to drive from Warsaw to Wroclaw.
