📋 Tender Overview
The Directorate of Roads and Highways (RSD) has started the reconstruction of the Aviaticka interchange (MUK) in Prague on the I/7 road near Vaclav Havel Airport. The price of the construction which resulted from the tender process is almost 900 million crowns without VAT the co-investor is Vaclav Havel Airport. The goal is a safer and more capable connection of the airport to the D7 highway and the Prague Ring Road. The work will take about a year and a half. This is the first phase of modifications in the next a new highway connection will be created between MUK Ruzyne and MUK Aviaticka. At the same time these are preparations for the highway to be expanded to 3+3 lanes in the future.
View gallery (3) The reconstruction of the already congested Aviaticka interchange is a key prerequisite for handling the growing demand for travel from Vaclav Havel Airport which every year sets new records in the number of checked-in passengers. By adding new branches of the intersection with a total length of four kilometers we will enable smoother traffic on the highway and towards the airport and increase the capacity of the intersection and its overall throughput. The project also envisages a connection to The Prague Ring Road where traffic has been growing for a long time says Transport Minister Ivan Bednarik.
According to the latest traffic count from last year 65089 cars of which 6800 are heavy trucks cross the I/7 road between Evropska and Aviaticka streets towards the airport every day. There will be eight new ramps and two collector strips at MUK Aviaticka. It will connect all directions: the center the airport Slany Predni Kopaninu. All the branches of the new intersection will be more than four kilometers long. Two new bridges will also be built and a noise barrier almost 400 meters long will also be part of it. Already last year the RSD demolished the original footbridge over the highway which includes guidance systems for the airport. Its length was an obstacle for upgrading the highway in these places to 3+3 lanes. A new 60-meter footbridge was created which is roughly 1.5 times longer than the original one.
The Aviaticka interchange which connects the Vaclav Havel Airport is absolutely unsuitable for traffic and needs to be rebuilt. Connecting such an important airport with such an intersection is intolerable from a long-term point of view. It is already causing huge traffic problems there are accidents the connecting and turning lanes are very short. It is necessary to build direct branches of the intersection. In particular the key is a direct branch from the center to the airport which also means the construction of new bridges. When it is finished we would like to follow it up with a new highway connection between MUK Ruzyne and MUK Aviaticka in order to eliminate the inadequate level crossing and the inadequate part of the road I/7 said the general director of RSD Radek Matl.

We are starting with the reconstruction of MUK Aviaticka on D7. The road connection to Vaclav Havel Airport is inadequate today and often causes traffic complications and accidents. The completely rebuilt intersection will bring new ramps bridges and noise barriers preparation for future expansion to 3+3 lanes and... pic.twitter.com/ui5aNTgb5g -- Ivan Bednarik (@BednarikIvan) April 24 2026
