The Wąwozowa Street (Polish: Ulica Wąwozowa) is one of the principal streets of the Warsaw's residential neighborhood of Kabaty in the Ursynów district. It runs along the East-West axis, linking the Rosoła Street with the Stryjeńskich Street. The name comes from gorges (Polish: wąwozy) bordering escarpment of the Vistula,[1] and was given in 1978 by the National Council of the Capital City of Warsaw [pl] resolution.[2]

The street was charted in 1980s during the development of Kabaty. Since 1995, the Kabaty metro station has been located beneath the street.[3] There are two traffic lights – first one on the junction with the Komisji Edukacji Narodowej Avenue,[4] and the second one with the Jerzy Zaruba Street (Polish: Ulica Jerzego Zaruby).[5]

There is a cycle path along the road.[6]
