Poland’s Transport Minister said last Thursday that two important roads scheduled to be opened in time for the Euro 2012 soccer championship, which kicks off in June, will not be completed according to schedule.

“It gives me no satisfaction to say that we will most likely not be able to drive through the entire A1 and A4 highway for the Euro,” Minister Sławomir Nowak told journalists.

When completed the A1, which runs north-south, will connect Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea to the Polish-Czech border. Highway A4 is meant to connect Poland with Germany in the west and with Ukraine in the east.
