Chorzowska Street in Katowice is a key road in the Metropolis GZM, located in the districts of Dąb, Koszutka, Osiedle Tysiąclecia, and Śródmieście. It serves as a direct road link between Katowice's city center and Chorzów, from which it derives its name. The street is part of National Road 79 along its entire length.
