📋 Tender Overview
The Directorate of Roads and Highways has opened two significant sections of the D35 highway. The nearly six-kilometer bypass of Vysoke Myto in the Pardubice Region and the 10.5-kilometer section from Horice to Sadova in the Hradec Kralove Region along with a part of the connecting section from Sadova to Plotiste.
The end of this year is marked by the completion of several transport constructions. The highway network will extend by 66.7 kilometers this year. The most of them are on the D35 where it will be more than 35 kilometers stated the General Director of the RSD Radek Matl who believes that the entire D35 highway will be completed within five years and will then become an important alternative to the overloaded D1.
The Vysoke Myto bypass
The new highway section begins at the Vysoke Myto-west interchange. Currently until the connecting section from Ostrov to Vysoke Myto is completed next year traffic will enter the highway from I/35 via a six-armed roundabout. At the end of the construction is the Dzbanov interchange. Through this interchange the southern edge of Vysoke Myto is connected to the highway. The section includes six bridges on the highway four overpasses and also four noise barriers totaling 3.3 kilometers in length.
The Vysoke Myto bypass is one of the key constructions on the route of the built highway. In a town with around 13000 residents over 18000 cars passed through daily of which nearly a third were trucks. I am glad that in recent years the preparation of all remaining sections of the D35 has significantly accelerated said General Director Matl.
The Horice - Sadova highway section
The new highway section will replace road I/35 between the town of Horice and the village of Sadova. The construction also includes an interchange near Horice with branch lengths of 1.1 kilometers. There are 12 bridges directly on the highway the longest (340 meters) is the viaduct near Horice which consists of two separate bridges for each direction of travel. More than 14000 cubic meters of concrete and over 5000 tons of steel were used for its construction.
The new highway section also features six noise barriers totaling nearly five kilometers in length. Interestingly a glass noise barrier with motifs reminiscent of the Battle of Hradec Kralove from 1866 and the two fighting armies was created on the viaduct near the village of Sadova. The barrier is located between the villages of Sovetice and Sadova at the site where the advance guard of the first Prussian army crossed the Bystrice stream on July 3 1866 and continued towards Sadova.
The Horice - Sadova section is another example of how we have been able to accelerate the construction time in recent years. The original commissioning date was spring 2026. Today the construction is operational including the part of the connecting section Sadova - Plotiste where we completed the Sadova interchange and about a kilometer of the highway route so that the Horice - Sadova highway could be connected to the current road I/35 added Radek Matl.
The RSD is also continuing the preparation and construction of other sections of the D35 highway. Next summer a section between Ostrov and the Homole tunnel is expected to be opened and by the end of 2026 the entire section from Ostrov to Vysoke Myto. The RSD is also in intensive negotiations with the contractor about the possibility of earlier commissioning of the Dzbanov - Litomysl section; instead of the originally planned year 2027 it could be in 2026. The Litomysl bypass is expected to be completed during 2027.
Both constructions are co-financed from the Transport Program 2021-2027 (OPD3).
