After a winter break, workers are back on D1 motorway. Works will end this year

The highest amount of investments into transport infrastructure ever, adoption of a so-called Linear Act, launch of a PPP project on D4 motorway or introduction of an electronic vignette and a single tariff system on the Czech railway. These events will represent the year 2021 in transport. This time, new projects aim to speed up improvement of roads, make Ministry’s agenda digital and strengthen the role of passenger transport on the Czech railway.

After a complete reconstruction, the highest bridge on D1 is fully open. The bridge Vysočina by Velké Meziříčí, which is 425 metres long and 70 metres high, was widened to 12.5 metres. The bottom part of the bridge was reconstructed and the surface is protected against corrosion. The modernisation roadworks on section 19 of D1 ended on Sunday 29 November.

This year, the roadworks on D1 have been the longest and most restricting. The modernisation took place on 7 sections in a total length of 71 out of 160 kilometres concerned between Mirošovice and Kývalka. During the winter break, all works will be stopped and the motorway will remain fully open.
