The Ministry of Transport has decided to listen to the needs of five regions: starting from next year, they will have selected motorway sections exempt from the motorway charges (sticker). From 2018 about 40 more kilometres of motorway in five section will be free of charges as well.
After September 20 the D8 motorway will be operational in all four lanes on the Prackovické estacade. Following the meeting of the Geotechnical Monitoring Council, the transport minister Dan Ťok and the Director of the Road and Motorway Directorate Jan Kroupa said this. Monitoring of the bridge estacade will continue and further upgrades will be made starting from the spring season.
The last missing section of the D8 motorway between Lovosice and Řehlovice will be opened for drivers on December 17. This completes the D8 motorway in its full length of 94 km and creates the second international motorway connection between Germany and the Czech Republic. RSD is opening this new section after the necessary construction works have been completed and road safety ensured.
