Krosno is located in the southern part of the Sub-Carpathian Voivodeship region. The National road no. 28 bisects the town and the National road no. 19 traverses some 5 kilometers on the outskirts of the town. Within the perspective of 2025, the expressway S-19 is to be built in close proximity to Krosno and will form a significant part of the “Via Carpathia” trans-European transport corridor, leading from Lithuania to Greece along the eastern border of the European Union. Access to this expressway would mean for Krosno a faster and more convenient connection with Rzeszów, the Voivodeship’s regional administration headquarters, and also with the rest of the country.
