Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines the recent changes that occur in the transportation networks on the territory of Silesia. It focuses on the basic branches of transportation, especially the networks of road and rail transportation. In the voivodeships, such as Lower Silesian Voivodeship and Silesian Voivodeship, the level of investment in road and rail infrastructure, its deficiencies as well as priorities were presented. On the other hand, the paper deliberately ignores detailed analyses of Opole Voivodeship as they are included in the previously published article. The method of this paper is based on the descriptive and factual study employing current statistic data and making reference to the historical development of Silesia’s analysed transportation networks. The infrastructure state of the networks of road and rail transportation in the three Silesian voivodeships is illustrated by the author’s synthesising maps that are attached to the paper.
