The Karlovy Vary region deserves the same transport infrastructure as other parts of the republic. That is why we are intensively continuing the construction of the D6 which after decades of promises is finally taking on clearly visible contours. Bridges are being built the future route of the highway is taking shape and concrete progress in the construction can be seen every week. One of the most modern repair halls of the national carrier in the Czech Republic is being completed in Cheb. This is exactly how I envision the modernization of Czech transport: constructions that can be seen and that will benefit people concrete benefit says Transport Minister Ivan Bednarik.
The new repair hall at the Czech Railways Maintenance Center in Cheb represents an investment of more than 829 million crowns. The 176-meter-long three-track hall will be used primarily for the maintenance of the most modern long-distance trains of CD InterJet ComfortJet and railjet as well as other modern trains. The facility will be equipped with top technologies including a gantry crane service gangways or a system of jacks enabling the entire five-car unit to be lifted at once. The project also includes energy-saving solutions such as a photovoltaic power plant heat pumps or a rainwater harvesting system. Workers are now installing technological devices completing internal wiring fitting technology end elements and revitalizing individual systems. At the same time the laying of the railway top the construction of intra-campus roads and the finishing work on the operational building continue. Completion of the construction is expected at the end of August this year.
Today we presented the minister with one of our most modern repair halls which in
are created in the Czech Republic. Once completed it will significantly enhance our modern rig maintenance capabilities and
will contribute to their high operational reliability says the Chairman of the Board and CEO
Czech Railways Michal Krapinec.
Extensive construction work is currently underway on the almost seven-kilometer section of the D6 Zalmanov-Kninice highway
earthworks construction of embankments and cuts as well as foundation of bridge structures. Builders work at nine
bridges the most important of which will be two large overpasses over the Ratiborsky and Bochovsky valleys
stream. At the same time the Bochov interchange is being built and the future body of the highway is being prepared. Mon
drivers will drive through it at the end of 2027.
Three sections with a total length of 27 kilometers are now under construction on the D6. This year the Directorate of Roads and
the first part of the St. Petersburg-Lubenec section of highways has been put into operation and before the end of the year the RSD also wants to start
construction of another 15.3 kilometers to Karlovy Vary.
