📋 Tender Overview
The Railway Administration today ceremoniously completed the reconstruction of the track between Turnov and Zelezny Brod. Traveling is now more comfortable and in Mala Skala it is easier to board the train thanks to the new platforms. The construction took place since last January with total costs reaching 838 million crowns.
The focal point of the entire construction was the station in Mala Skala which is used not only by locals but also by tourists heading most often to the nearby rock castle. The builders constructed barrier-free platforms and passenger access is via a central crossing equipped with warning signals. The historical station building in Mala Skala has also been renovated describes Mojmir Nejezchleb who is responsible for managing the Railway Administration. He adds that the stop in Dolanky also received modern platforms.
Thanks to the increase in track speed up to 100 km/h and the installation of modern safety equipment the capacity of the entire section has increased. In addition to the tracks the tunnel near the village of Rakousy has also been renovated with workers improving the condition of its walls and drainage. New parking spaces for passengers have also been created at the station in Mala Skala.
The contractors for the construction were the companies AZD and STRABAG Rail with total costs amounting to 838557732 crowns.
The project is financially supported by a loan from the European Investment Bank as part of the Czech Rail TEN-T and Regional project. National funding is provided by the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure.
