The Wrocław Różanka stop was built on an embankment. Two platforms were built, and each of them is single-edged. The platforms are high and 200 m long. The platform edge is made of light red prefabricated slabs with anti-slip surface. The slabs have yellow warning lines and buttons. The rest is made of grey pavement slabs. Two bus shelters, railway information boards and audio information boards have been installed on each platform. Blue protective barriers have been installed on the embankment slope. Access to the platforms has been made as ramps, thanks to which disabled people and cyclists can use the stops. Additionally, an underground passage for passengers has been made through the embankment using the soil-coating technology. The pavement has been paved with concrete paving stones and linear drainage has been installed.

Between the passenger stop and the railway bridge there are remains of fortifications, the task of which was to defend the bridge crossing from the north. There are stairs in the fortification, which are currently not used and are fenced off. Osobowicka Street (DW Nr 327) runs under the tracks. It is from this street that sidewalks lead to the platforms. The sidewalks are fenced, blue and equipped with lighting.

The stop is used by trains operated by PolRegio and Koleje Dolnośląskie. In 2022, the stop served up to 300 passengers per day.
