The autostrada A2 in Poland, officially named the Motorway of Freedom (Polish: Autostrada Wolności),^[1] is a motorway which runs from the Polish-German border (connecting to A12 autobahn near Świecko/Frankfurt an der Oder), through Poznań and Łódź to Warsaw and, in the future, to the Polish-Belarusian border (connecting to M1 highway near Terespol/Brest).^[2] It is a part of European route E30.

The motorway between the German border and Warsaw (452 km (281 mi)) was constructed between 2001 and 2012 (the first fragment of length 48 km (30 mi) was originally built between 1977 and 1988 and renovated to modern standards during the construction of the remaining sections). Most of the stretch from the border to Konin is tolled (see Tolls on Polish highways).

Eastwards from Warsaw, A2 is being gradually extended. The first 21 km (13 mi) segment of this section was the bypass of Mińsk Mazowiecki, which opened in August 2012. The second 14.6 km (9.1 mi) segment between Warsaw and Mińsk Mazowiecki was completed in 2020. The longest section from Mińsk Mazowiecki to Biała Podlaska (101 km (63 mi)) is under construction and is planned to get completed by 2024.^[3] The last segment to the Belarusian border (32 km (20 mi)) is under design, but its planned construction has been postponed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.^[4]

A2 does not formally run through Warsaw itself, instead turning into expressway S2 (constructed between 2010 and 2021).^[5] The motorway also does not technically reach the border with Germany as its endpoint is marked near the Świecko interchange ca. 4 km (2.5 mi) away from the border, although the remaining section is also a dual-carriageway road mostly up to the motorway standard.
