📋 Tender Overview
On Saturday November 15 we are fully restoring operations at the modernized and expanded Mikulasov rest area at the 95th km of the D1 motorway. It is the highest motorway rest area in the country where we will now offer 48 spaces for trucks 69 for passenger vehicles and a more pleasant environment.
The construction project began last September. On average 50 workers participated in it daily including weekends. They had to deal primarily with the weather conditions which are unstable at the construction site at an altitude of about 660 m especially in winter. During the summer months in the period of higher temperatures they had to strictly adhere to the technological procedures especially during concrete pouring to prevent the newly constructed concrete areas from cracking.
The rest area was expanded by approximately one hectare which increased the capacity of parking spaces in the direction to Brno for trucks from 15 to 20 spaces for passenger cars from 62 to 69 spaces and we also added 4 spaces for buses and 4 for caravans. In the direction to Prague the capacity was increased only for parking spaces for trucks from 8 to 28 spaces. Additionally on this side 4 spaces for buses and 4 for caravans were added.
We supplemented the furnishings including covered seating areas. For families with children on the Brno side we built a playground. Both sides are now equipped with public LED lighting an occupancy monitoring system and a telematics system for sorting trucks into individual rows and for safety there is camera surveillance. Additionally we shaded the rest area from the motorway with a gabion wall.
The contractor is a consortium of companies COLLAS CZ a.s. and OHLA ZS a.s. which committed to carry out the work for 198.19 million CZK excluding VAT.
Currently the Road and Motorway Directorate (RSD) operates 144 motorway rest areas in the Czech Republic providing more than 9000 parking spaces of which more than a third are for trucks. This year 288 parking spaces for freight transport will be added to the motorway rest areas. An increase in capacity by another 290 spaces for freight transport is planned for 2026.
