Following the reconstruction the tram passengers will  be offered a comfortable and environment-friendly public mean of transport which will compete with the means of individual transport. The reconstruction of Wyszyński junction includes: the restructuring of tramway and infrastructure, street lightening and partial underground installation. The changes will also be visible for people who use municipal transport services as new bus stops and platforms are being built. The works will also be conducted on roadways, pavements and cycling path. The buried networks will be reconstructed and new elements will appear in the tramway infrastructure such as track switch control and heating and the system of greasers. The track way along the Nadbrzeże Wieleckie will run on the same line. A two-way bus and tramway line was designed at Wyszyńskiego street. The track way, in turn, will see the occurrence of the additional two-way tramway on the route from Wyszyńskiego street to Stocznia Szczecińska. The length of track ways equals almost 1150 metres of a single track.
