📋 Tender Overview
The Railway Administration is preparing the construction of a new station building in Chodov in the Karlovy Vary region. It will be located at the barrier-free underpass to the island platform on the walk to the old station. This more suitable place was already taken into account during the construction of platforms and the modernization of the station. The design of the modern building was presented by the Railway Administration to the representatives of the town of Chodov.The new building will be single-storey energy-efficient partially sunk into the existing terrain. It is designed for the most part all-glazed with aluminum profiles and safety glazing including shading blinds. The check-in hall will be spacious and bright. The main entrance will be from the covered central area which connects access from the planned bus stop from the newly designed car park and also from the sidewalk adjacent to platform 1 and the already implemented underpass to platform 2. Construction is expected to begin in the first half of 2022.The construction of the new building will significantly increase the safety and level of travel culture. Specifically it will be about building barrier-free access to the building toilets for immobile citizens and creating a more significant connection to related modes of transport. Publicly accessible areas will be properly lit and equipped with elements to increase awareness and security. The unresolved surroundings of the station building will be modified even today so that it becomes a dignified public space for passengers with a clear structure. A P R car park for 28 vehicles parking for motorcycles stands and bicycle boxes will be created at the dispatch building.The existing station building is considerably oversized for current needs and moreover in poor technical condition. After the construction of the new building it will be demolished and a parking space for buses will be created in its place at the time of the closure.
