📋 Tender Overview
The high pace of railway renewal continues the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure will provide 72.2 billion crowns for it this year. The money will go to projects that will significantly improve everyday travel with 20 billion being spent on track maintenance. Several station buildings will undergo renovations costing hundreds of millions and three-quarters of a billion crowns will be allocated to increasing the safety of level crossings. Several lines will be electrified.
Construction of a fifteen-kilometer section from Pragues Ruzyne to Kladno will begin this spring. This is the longest stage of the Prague - Airport - Kladno project which will largely follow a new route and trains will be able to travel at speeds of up to 145 km/h thanks to straightened curves and electrification.
The modernization of the section from Plzen through Nyrany to Chotesov will start which will become part of a modern line from the West Bohemian metropolis to Bavaria and the long-prepared reconstruction of the Ostrava railway hub will begin. This year repairs will be made to the last line affected by floods in the autumn of 2024 from Opava to Kravare.
The reconstruction of the busy section from Kolin to Kutna Hora will start which will eliminate the crossing of the main corridor routes from Prague to Moravia towards Havlickuv Brod thanks to the Hlizov connection. Work will begin on the revitalization and electrification of the line from Nyrany to Hermanova Hut and the section from Rudoltice in Bohemia to Lanskroun will also receive overhead wiring.
The actual start of the projects is conditional on the approval of the state budget in the Chamber of Deputies.
