As of 2023, the sections from Szczecin to Koszalin and from Bożepole Wielkie to Gdańsk are open. However, a fragment of the Koszalin bypass has been delayed due to unexpected geological conditions and it is scheduled to open to traffic in early 2024.
The remaining part from Koszalin to Bożepole Wielkie is under construction, with scheduled opening dates in 2025. This investment includes adding the second carriageway to the existing single-carriageway bypass of Słupsk. Upon completion of the ongoing contracts, A6/S6 will be open on its whole intended route from the German border to Gdańsk. Later, a new route of S6 will be constructed to form the western bypass of Szczecin, providing a parallel alternative to the existing route of A6 and S6 south-east of Szczecin.
