📋 Tender Overview
The first high-speed line in the Czech Republic succeeded in the process of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in the upcoming section between Prosenice and Ostrava-Svinov. The positive opinion of the Ministry of the Environment means that the project of the Moravian Gate VRT proceeds to the next phase which is the purchase of land by the Railway Administration. It is a major milestone for the modernization of Czech rail transport.
The approval of the EIA moves us to the next phase of the high -speed line project that significantly increases the capacity of the railway infrastructure in Moravia. At the same time we are dealing with the financing of the section from Brodk near Prerov to Ostrava. Martin Kupka.

About the well
High -speed lines (VRT) are the future of Czech railways. With a speed of up to 320 km/h the Czech Republic will help build a stronger economy higher quality of life and contribute to a healthier environment. In addition to significant time savings they offer brand new economic and technological opportunities release the capacity of existing tracks and compared to car transport will reach up to seven times less energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
We are currently preparing these sections of the borehole:
RS 1 VRT Praha - Brno - Ostrava
RS 2 VRT Brno - Breclav
RS 4 VRT Prague - Usti nad Labem - Dresden
RS 5 VRT PRAGUE - Hradec Kralove / Pardubice - Wroclaw
