📋 Tender Overview
The Minister of Transport Ivan Bednarik visited the construction of the Nachod bypass on road I/33 today where he became acquainted with the current progress of the work. The construction of one of the key transport projects in the Hradec Kralove Region is proceeding according to schedule and has recently reached a significant milestone - the breakthrough of the Dolni Radechova tunnel the most technically demanding part of the project.
The Nachod bypass is a typical example of a project that should have been completed long ago. As the Minister of Transport I therefore place maximum emphasis on ensuring that this construction proceeds strictly according to schedule. The bypass is crucial for both the residents of Nachod and for smooth connections with Poland. The deadline for commissioning in the first quarter of 2028 must be met. The good news is that we have successfully completed the most challenging part the breakthrough of the Dolni Radechova tunnel said Minister of Transport Ivan Bednarik during the inspection day.
The Road and Motorway Directorate began construction of the 6.5-kilometer section in March 2025. The construction costing more than 3.18 billion crowns excluding VAT aims to divert transit traffic from the city center through which approximately 24000 passenger vehicles and 6000 trucks pass daily. Upon completion safety and traffic flow will significantly improve and noise and emissions will be reduced.
The project includes two tunnels with a total length of 463 meters 17 bridge structures and the relocation of road I/14. The Dolni Radechova tunnel is being built using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) which allows for flexible responses to complex geological conditions along the construction route.
The construction is part of a broader development of road infrastructure in Eastern Bohemia where the Road and Motorway Directorate is currently implementing thirteen projects with a total length of 65.8 kilometers in the Hradec Kralove and Pardubice regions. Additionally tomorrow the construction of a new section of the D11 motorway between Jaromer and Trutnov will begin.
