📋 Tender Overview
Dozens of construction machines and workers are working even during the winter months on the construction of a highway section of the Prague Ring Road between Bechovice and the D1 highway. The head of the Ministry of Transport during todays inspection day together with the management of the Road and Motorway Directorate inspected the progress of construction work on one of the key transport constructions in the Czech Republic.
I appreciate the commitment of all local builders who are keeping the project on schedule even in challenging winter conditions; it should be completed by the end of 2027. The new section will relieve traffic in the southeastern part of the capital and its surroundings and contribute to safer and smoother traffic said Minister of Transport Ivan Bednarik.
Construction activity is currently focused mainly on reinforcing formwork and concreting the pillars and supports of future bridges along the 12.6-kilometer route. Earthworks are continuing along the entire length of the route and two tunnels are also being excavated: the Dubec tunnel which is 232 meters long and the Na Vysoke tunnel which is 394 meters long. In the coming weeks builders will focus on preparatory work for the construction of sewer lines and gas pipeline relocations which involves the distribution of pipes. The establishment of the portals for both tunnels is also planned.
Currently 137 kilometers of highways and 66.9 kilometers of first-class roads are under construction in the Czech Republic. After the final approval of the current budget proposal of the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure for 2026 the Road and Motorway Directorate will also be able to start the construction of other important highway and road projects including the last unbuilt section of the D11 highway between Jaromer and Trutnov further sections of the key D35 highway and also the road bypasses of Breclav Znojmo or Pelhrimov.
