The departing government leaves 180 km of finished motorways and category I roads

The Minister of Transport officially kickstarted the construction of the relocation of the I/16 road Slaný – Velvary. Once this road is in the new position, the traffic (which is very heavy in this area) will be diverted outside the residential development of Slaný and adjacent municipalities. The construction of the relocation will also improve the connection between the D8 Ústí motorway with the I/7 road and the connecting D7 motorway.

Construction of 230 new kilometres of motorways and category I roads in progress, transfer of railway stations to state ownership and commencement of repairs, registration of vehicles in any office, correction of the incorrectly set toll contracts and a new transparent tender. These are the basic results of Dan Ťok for his 1000 days in the function of the Minister of Transport. Since 1993, Dan Ťok became only the third of the seventeen ministers of transport who were heading the transport field for more than two and three quarters of a year.

In 2017, the transport sector will start constructing another 140 km of highways. Before the end of September, the Road and Highway Directorate will announce tenders for contractors for a total of 20 structures worth 64 billion crowns. The Minister of Transport, Dan Tok, said so at a joint briefing with the Minister of Finance, Andrej Babis.
