Show gallery (3) "Thirty years of waiting are over: Nova Paka through which up to 20000 cars pass daily has finally received a bypass. Eight and a half kilometers of new road from Prague towards the Krkonose Mountains will speed up the connection relieve drivers bring calm to the city and other municipalities and contribute to safer transport. The construction is financed from both the national budget and European money - and these are really well-invested funds because this is exactly what people expect from the state. We are now building almost 80 kilometers of new class I roads and 200 kilometers of highways across the country" says Minister of Transport Martin Kupka. The bypass starts in the direction of Jicin in front of Kumbursky Ujezd. It then runs between Nova Paka and the Nova Paka parts of Hermanice and Stikov. It connects back to the I/16 road in Vidochov. It includes 16 bridges the most significant of which is the 438-meter-long flyover over the Stikov Gorge. A steel bridge over the Nova Paka - Ostromer line was also built. There are more than four kilometers of noise barriers on the route. The contractor also had to deal with complex geological conditions for example the soil used for construction had to be improved by liming. "Due to the rugged terrain the construction is one of the most demanding bypasses of Czech cities. Extensive cuts were necessary including controlled blasting of rocks. Thanks to this rocky obstacles were removed and the subsoil prepared for construction. The bypass is one of the largest road constructions in the area in several decades. Nova Paka is the first gateway to the Giant Mountains on the route from Prague and a strategic link between the Skoda Auto car plants in Mlada Boleslav and Vrchlabi" said RSD General Director Radek Matl. RSD is already preparing the connecting eight-kilometer bypass of Horka u Stara Paka. The geotechnical survey will be completed this year. Construction should begin in 2030 the estimated cost is CZK 1 billion excluding VAT. In the Hradec Kralove Region RSD is also building another important bypass the city of Nachod. It should be open to traffic from spring 2028 and work for CZK 3.2 billion excluding VAT began in March. In the Hradec Kralove and Pardubice Regions this year RSD will put 30 kilometers of the D35 highway into operation including the Vysoke Myto bypass and in addition to the D35 21 kilometers of the D11 highway from Trutnov to the border with Poland are being built at the same time.
