It's a beautiful day outside so I took a chance and went to take some shots of newly opened stretch of D1 through Ostrava:

January 26th, 2008, 03:32 PM

Great job with those pictures, X236K!

Qwert: The concrete pavement should be at almost whole lenght of the D47(D1). The Bohumin border stretch as well as the Bílovec - Rudná stretch will have it as well. I think the main reason that the part Rudná - Bohumín doesn't have it, is that there are many bridges (we don't use concrete on bridges) and some kind of undermined (poddolované) and unstable ground (it's easier to repave asphalt than concrete). You can see the concrete also on the second last picture...

Most of currently built highways/expressways have concrete pavement. The whole D1 will have it excluding parts mentioned by mapman. The R48 (Frydek-Mistek to Cesky Tesin) is also covered by concrete.

Yes, it seems to become popular nowadays. I've even heard rumours that new sections of Slovak D1 should have concrete pavement.

On many pictures lanes painting is barely visible. Is it because dirt on surface and they just forgot to clean it or was it badly painted and they going to repaint it?
Do they use high visibility paint? I mean this one which is shiny when you use lights at night?

Today I drove from Ostrava to Frydek-Mistek via R56 and then to Cesky Tesin on recently opened R48:

Still in the city, the R56 junction is at the end of this street:

The end of R56. If I continued, I would have driven to Slovakia.

How about this extension or R56. Where will it go?? Any map of project?

R56 should be extended on both sides, but there is a difference.

Southern link to R48 should be built as a typical comfortable expressway, but its only a small stretch, as you can see here (http://www.mapy.cz/#x=142075392@y=134623150@z=12@mm=ZP@ax=142075392@ay=134623150@at=R56@ad=southern%20extension). Completion in years 2008-2011.

Northern extension is planned as so called (Prodloužená Místecká) that connects the existing R56 thru the city to D1 Místecká interchange. It will be urban expressway, apparently with 80/100 kph speed limit. Completion is expected until 2010/2011 as well.

There are also future plans to extend I/56 as a 2+2 road to Opava, expected to be expressway, but preparation works did not start yet...

... and IMO there is no reason to build this expressway. What for? As I know the road 1/11 should be broaden to 2x2 in near future.

Construction of new part of Brno's big city ring started now. Dobrovského tunnels.
http://www.brno.cz/galerie/obrazky/1202314315-v.jpg

Zhruba za tři roky by se mělo obyvatelům vnitřního města trochu ulevit - po dokončení tunelů Dobrovského ubude aut, která nyní trápí především Královopolské. Ražba dvou tunelových trub oficiálně začala včera, v provozu by měly být v roce 2011.

Tunely Dobrovského jsou jednou z nejdůležitějších a největších dopravních staveb v Brně. Jako součást velkého městského okruhu svedou především tranzitní dopravu mimo vnitřní město, kde by se měla po jejich dokončení snížit hustota dopravy i hladina hluku. Průzkumné štoly se začaly razit už před lety (druhá byla dokončena v roce 2003), ale ražba samotných tunelů se zdržela také pro spory s majiteli domů nad plánovanou trasou. Lidé především z ulice Dobrovského se obávali narušení statiky budov nad tunely. Hlavní investor stavby - Ředitelství silnic a dálnic ČR - musel proto na popud ministerstva dopravy více než stovku domů před ražbou staticky zabezpečit.

Královopolské tunely budou ústit u ulice Sportovní a povedou přes Královo Pole a Žabovřesky. Nebo lépe řečeno pod nimi. Měří zhruba 1200 metrů a budou tak nejdelšími tunely v Brně. „Ražba v obtížných geologických podmínkách bude mistrovské dílo," myslí si ředitel brněnské správy Ředitelství silnic a dálnic Jiří Rupp. „Nikde v České republice se takové tunely dosud nebudovaly."

Podle zástupce zhotovitele stavby Michala Štefla by samotná ražba měla skončit za dva roky. První auta pak tunely projedou v roce 2011 a kompletní dokončení díla je plánováno na květen 2014. „Abychom ten termín stihli, musíme měsíčně vyrazit asi padesát metrů v každé tunelové troubě," vysvětlil Štefl. Celková cena přesahuje 6,5 miliardy korun, téměř 700 milionů pak ze svého rozpočtu vyčlenilo město Brno. V letošním roce tu plánuje utratit 170 milionů.

Ražba prvního tunelu začala fakticky před třemi týdny, práce na druhém pak odstartují 15. února. Slavnostní zahájení se však konalo 5. února za účasti představitelů města, kraje a zástupců investora, projektantů i dodavatelů. Místo obligátního přestřižení pásky se do připraveného bagru s bouracím kladivem usadil brněnský primátor Roman Onderka - a ražba může začít.

Here you have the complete visualization of Dobrovského tunnel: http://www.brno.cz/projekty/source/dob/index.html Technology of exhausting is uniqe and very difficult, because of small burden (from 6 to 25 metres). So there will be used a special system of compaction grouting. I've seen technology projekt of exhausting in our university, so next week I will try to make some spy photos of plans and get it here :happy: Construction of crossing (MÚK) with Svitavská radial road started last year in autumn.

^^Což o D1, ale rozestavěnou R6 a dokončovanou R7 si dovedu představit jen s opravdu hodně růžovými brýlemi.

Jinak ta třípatrová křižovatka R35 u Opatovic je opravdu pěkná opičárna. Příliš se nedivím, že proti tomu byla taková opozice.

Anyway I'm missing R35 that I'd prefer to e.g. R7 or R55 (but please don't beat me, seriously I'm not able to consider those R's approprietly since I mostly drive Moravian roads...). IMO R35 should be the priority No. 1 after the D1 is completed. Road No. 35 is the most dangerous, stressy to drive, overloaded.

R35 will be a priority, but due to lack of preparation in ast few years, it is not possible to begin construction within 2010.

R7 completed in Ustecky region until 2010 (IMHO 2011) is a realistic plan. All section should be under construction there in 2008 or 2009. It is a relatively cheap R road, average construction costs per 1 km are 196 M CZK. So it is a cheap point for politics as well...

Yes, you're right. I don't know exactly why, but it is planned to be finished between 2013 and 2017. Maybe it's because the part in Ustecky region is being prepared by RSD Sprava Chomutov and the Central-bohemian part by Sprava Praha... Weirdo, isn't it? I hope at least Lotouš by-pass will have some higher priority...

Článek z časopisu Profit z konce ledna 2008, zabývající se touto tématikou.

Konec dálnic druhé kategorie?
28.1.2008 zdroj: Profit str. 34 Doprava autor: PETR KUČERA

Stát zvažuje sjednocení dosavadních dvou typů dálničních komunikací. Zbytečné rozlišování nás mimo jiné znevýhodňuje oproti západní Evropě.

DÁLNICE A RYCHLOSTNÍ SILNICE

Zkuste si odpovědět na jednoduchou otázku: Vede z Prahy do Liberce dálnice, nebo ne? A z Prahy na Příbramsko? Většina z vás asi odpoví, že ano. Ale zahraniční investor, který si jen prohlíží mapu České republiky, si často myslí opak. A má pravdu: Čtyřpruhové komunikace do Liberce nebo na Příbramsko opravdu nejsou dálnicemi, ale "pouze" rychlostními silnicemi. Na méně podrobných mapách proto vypadají jako obyčejné silnice.
V České republice totiž existují dvě různě značené komunikace "dálničního typu". Obě jsou (až na výjimky) stejně široké, shodně zpoplatněné, platí na nich stejná pravidla ohledně maximální rychlosti, v zásadě jsou i stejně kvalitní. Odlišné označení zbytečně mate nejen zahraniční investory či turisty, ale také tuzemské řidiče. Zavádějící je také samotná značka "silnice pro motorová vozidla".
Zbytečné zmatky a faktickou totožnost obou typů komunikací si uvědomuje i Ředitelství silnic a dálnic. Zvažuje proto sjednocení jejich označení. Nejde jen o formalitu nebo o zvýšení prestiže České republiky. Označení má značný vliv také na údržbu a vybavení komunikací - právě to je dosud jediný podstatnější rozdíl mezi oběma typy "dálnic". Řidiči si myslí, že jedou po dálnici, přestože standardy na údržbu, správu či vybavení telematickými systémy (ale také policejní dozor) jsou nižší. To vede k častějším nehodám.

MAPY NÁM ŠKODÍ

Většina méně podrobných map rozlišuje jen mezi dálnicemi a ostatními hlavními silnicemi. Zmíněné komunikace mezi Prahou a Libercem, Prahou a Příbrami, ale také například mezi Vyškovem a Olomoucí, Olomoucí a Mohelnicí či Brnem a Pohořelicemi, tak jsou pro nezasvěcené pozorovatele map jenom obyčejnými silnicemi.
Jako "pouhé" rychlostní komunikace se navíc mají v příštích letech stavět tak důležité projekty, jako třeba R35 mezi Hradcem Králové a Olomoucí - tedy dlouho očekávaná severní alternativa k přetížené dálnici D1 mezi Prahou, Brnem a Olomoucí. A pravděpodobně jen jako rychlostní silnice vzniknou také pokračování dálnice D11 z Hradce Králové k polským hranicím nebo D3 z Českých Budějovic do Rakouska. Při pohledu na mapu se tak budou D11 nebo D3 zdát jako nedokončené, přestože ve skutečnosti si řidič ničeho nevšimne.
"Přeřazení některých rychlostních silnic pod dálnice by přineslo vyšší mezinárodní prestiž. Například při vyjednávání zahraničních investic jsou dálnice stěžejním bodem. Odpadlo by tak přesvědčovaní, že se ve skutečnosti jedná o dálnici," vysvětluje generální ředitel Ředitelství silnic a dálnic Alfred Brunclík. "Pokud se oficiální dálniční síť rozroste o několik set kilometrů, k atraktivitě České repububliky to jen přispěje. V sousedních státech, například v Polsku, řešili obdobný problém a vyřešili ho právě tím, že rychlostní komunikace a dálnice spojili v jeden celek," dodává k tomu mluvčí agentury CzechInvest Lucie Králová. VŠUDE JINAK Používání značky rychlostní silnice (silnice pro motorová vozidla) je v každé evropské zemi odlišné. V naprosté většině jsou ale čtyřpruhové komunikace dálničního typu jednotně vedeny jako dálnice, přestože některé komunikace vypadají hůře než české rychlostní silnice.
Například v Itálii je hlavní severo-jižní dálnice místy užší než kterákoliv česká rychlostní silnice, chybí na ní odstavné pruhy a podobně. V řadě zemí včetně Německa je na velké části těchto komunikací trvale omezena rychlost na 110 či 100 kilometrů za hodinu - přesto jde papírově stále o dálnice.
Jako silnice pro motorová vozidla jsou v Německu značeny jen kvalitnější silnice první třídy. Většinou jde o obchvaty měst a obcí či "napřímení" starých komunikací. Jsou sice širší a rovnější než běžné silnice, mívají mimoúrovňové křižovatky, ale v zásadě mají jen jeden pruh pro každý směr a maximální dovolená rychlost je 100 kilometrů za hodinu.
Ve Francii je sice rozlišení podobné jako v Česku, ale mají k tomu přinejmenším dva důvody: Na dálnicích se může jet 130 kilometrů za hodinu a platí se za ně, zatímco na rychlostních silnicích jen 110 a jsou zdarma (typicky jde o obchvaty měst). Podobné rozdělení je i ve zmíněné Itálii: Za rychlostní silnice tam považují i čtyřpruhové komunikace neoddělené pásem zeleně - zatímco v Česku podobné protisměrné pruhy, oddělené pouze namalovanou čárou či svodidly, nesplňují ani kritéria rychlostních silnic (například značná část dosavadního spojení z Hranic na Moravě do Ostravy). V Polsku dokonce najdeme na některých rychlostních silnicích obyčejné křižovatky, včetně přechodů pro chodce.
"Česká republika si na rozdíl od mnohem bohatších států vytvořila velmi vysoký standard rychlostních silnic - podle něj bychom například německou dálniční síť o několik desítek procent zmenšili," říká Brunclík.

PAPÍROVÁ ZMĚNA

Ředitelství silnic a dálnic proto zvažuje, že by přinejmenším 200 kilometrů "lepších" rychlostních silnic papírově změnilo na dálnice. Po plánované rekonstrukci by se pak přidala příbramská R4, chomutovská R7 a po dostavbě také středočeská část R6 nebo otrokovická R55.
Jako dálnice by se mohly zprovoznit také všechny chystané nové úseky, byť jejich stavba bude z administrativních důvodů stále vedena jako rychlostní silnice. Tyto zmodernizované či nové komunikace mají navíc mnohem lepší parametry než zastaralá "dálnice" D1.
Na několika místech, kde mají rychlostní silnice horší úroveň než dálnice, by podle Brunclíka stačilo omezení rychlosti - podobně jako to řeší v Německu. Jde například o chybějící nebo velmi krátký připojovací pruh u nájezdů, ostřejší zatáčky, užší "okraje" nebo chybějící odstavné pruhy.
Ani poté by ale kategorie rychlostních silnic nezanikla. Po zahraničním vzoru by se tak označily některé čtyřpruhové silnice, které dosud nejsou vedeny jako rychlostní -například nedávno otevřené komunikace poblíž Písku, Liberce či Zábřehu na Moravě, nebo dálniční přivaděč jižně od Plzně. V kategorii by dále zůstaly i "horší" z dosavadních rychlostních silnic, například mezi Vyškovem a Olomoucí.

NENÍ TO PRIORITA

"Debata o možném přeřazení rychlostních silnic mezi dálnice trvá zhruba od jara loňského roku," potvrzuje šéf Ředitelství silnic a dálnic Alfred Brunclík. Kromě už zmíněných důvodů je změna aktuální také kvůli zvažovanému zvýšení rychlostního limitu. Ten by se na dálnicích - či přinejmenším na jejich novějších či zmodernizovaných úsecích - mohl zvýšit na 160 kilometrů za hodinu. To by pro některé horší rychlostní silnice bylo nepřijatelné. Podle současných úvah by se tedy některé lepší rychlostní silnice přeřadily pod dálnice, a pro ty zbylé by pak platil odlišný limit - pravděpodobně 110 kilometrů za hodinu.
"Momentálně řešíme s ministerstvem dopravy, zda-li je tato změna vhodná a hlavně proveditelná. Zatím jsme stále ve fázi úvah," upřesňuje šéf Ředitelství silnic a dálnic. Podle něj neexistuje nějaký časový plán přeznačení, protože se nejedná vyloženě o prioritní úkol, nýbrž o řešení dlouhodobé problematiky. Podle neoficiálních informací by ke změně mohlo dojít současně se zmíněným zvýšením rychlosti na dálnicích.
A jak se na možnou změnu dívají dopravci ze sdružení Česmad Bohemia? "Pro nás je rozhodující faktický stav komunikací a výše a způsob jejich zpoplatnění. Z tohoto pohledu pro nás administrativní označení není důležité," říká jeho mluvčí Martin Felix.
Václav Špička z Autoklubu České republiky upozorňuje, že mnohé rychlostní silnice jsou v horším stavu než dálnice - jde například o vyjeté koleje nebo existující zastávky autobusů. "Logické by bylo dostavět plánovanou dálniční síť, poté se zaměřit na úpravu rychlostních silnic tak, aby odpovídaly požadavkům na dálnice, a teprve potom je přeznačit," domnívá se.

Skanska AB got the order from the Czech Republic's national highway administration to build the 6 km stretch of motorway on the D47 route from Bohumin in the eastern Czech Republic to the Polish border.
The project is being financed through the national Czech infrastructure fund.
Work begins immediately and the road is planned for completion in 2011.

Finally :banana::banana:

But why it takes so long? 6km in 3 years? On polish side of the border they want to finish in 2 years time it means in 2010. And they have to build 18km in difficult terrain.
Anyway we will have proper motorway connection between our countries!

Back to Czech motorways, the construction of D1 to polish border is great news. The 2011 date for completion is OK, but it does not mean it couldn't be open months before it. The term is well discussed with polish colleagues so there is no need to doubt.

And I should mention at this time that in few months (still in spring) the 4707 section of D1 motorway from Bilovec to Ostrava with tunnel Klimkovice will be opened.

In autumn another section (4704) from Lipnik to Belotin is planned to be opened. The remaining parts between Belotin and Bilovec are expected to carry traffic in 2009 and in 2010 the whole former D47 will be completed and Ostrava will finally be connected to european motorway network, even from the czech (D1 (R35, R46), D2 SK, A6 A etc) as well as from the polish (A1, A4, A4 D) side.

Actually the construction of this section was intentionally postponed because the motorway on the polish side wouldn't be finished any sooner.

Are you sure about 2010? I'm positive, be Poland able to finish their part by 2010, Czech republic would adjust its construction schedule accordingly.

I'm sure it will take us longer than 2010. Polish projects are rarely on time.
So if you will have to adjust it means you will have to probably wait for us ;)
Actually 18km next to border is build by Austrian-Czech consortium. Alpine something.
Problem is with next 15 km where we can't choose contractor because of companies fighting for contract protest each other propositions.
So it's quite possible that Motorway will finish 18 km from border, at least for while.

That’s different story. Our stupid politicians were afraid of exterritorial road connecting Czech Rep and Germany. They wanted to develop expressway no 3 to connect polish ports to Czech Rep instead of making connection easier with Rostock.
I know it doesn’t make much sense but some parties (remember twins ;) ) have very weird point of view on trans-border cooperation.
I’ don’t really know what is current status of this project.

But at the end 3 years for 6 km of motorway in flat landscape? It is a bit long.

I have never driven from Žilina to Prague. Although I had been travelling or driving on some of those roads. Czech road 50 is of course relatively busy, but I don't think it's so busy that driving via Bratislava would take shorter time. It's for sure not as congested as D1 before and in Bratislava and there are third lanes in steep stretches so you can easily overtake trucks.

The old D1 path was abandoned for 2 main reasons - the first one being the intention to link Zlin - Otrokovice aglo directly via the motorway and the second one the fact the original routing crossed 2 natural preserves (CHKO's).

For the latter reason I think it's safe to say it's highly unlikely an expressway will be ever built in the origińal routing of D1, especially with the R49 built couple of kms next to it in more favourable terrain.

What's happening though is there are some new bypasses and other new sections of I/50 being built in the corridor originally intended for the motorway thus further improving the overall quality of the road.

An example: Uherské Hradiště bypass on I/50

The old D1 path was abandoned for 2 main reasons - the first one being the intention to link Zlin - Otrokovice aglo directly via the motorway and the second one the fact the original routing crossed 2 natural preserves (CHKO's).

For the latter reason I think it's safe to say it's highly unlikely an expressway will be ever built in the origińal routing of D1, especially with the R49 built couple of kms next to it in more favourable terrain.

What's happening though is there are some new bypasses and other new sections of I/50 being built in the corridor originally intended for the motorway thus further improving the overall quality of the road.

Disadvatnage of R49 in comparision with "R50" is its location. It is better for connection of Zlín - Otrokovice - Žilina, but it is worse for international traffic between Slovakia and Czech republic. If you look at map, you will see that "R50" would be much much better connection with Slovakia than R49. R49 can be used almost only by drivers from region Považie and Northern Slovakia, but they will have also second option - motorway D3 while "R50" can be used by drivers from Povežie, but also large parts of Central, Western and partially also Eastern Slovakia. Just follow Slovak I/50 or corridor E50 and its adjacent roads like I/61, I/64, I/65 I/66 I/67 and so on. This is the reason why we are going to build R2 and why "R50" would be great for international traffic unlike R49.

^^ Yes, that's true. From simply traffic viewpoint, the original routing of D1 (in the path of I/50) is better. Even Zlin-Otrokovice aglomeration is served sufficiently well thru R55 in this scheme. Unfortunately there is also a downside of this solution and it is the aforementioned conflict with national nature preserves. At some point the enviromental POV prevailed. That's why I/50 will very likely always be only a normal road albeit a very good one. Perhaps parts of it may indeed become "R50" sometime in the future - provided the planned road categorization reform mentioned earlier on this thread (basically legal upgrade of most expressways to motorways) really takes place and at the same time re-introduces the 2-lane expressway road category again.

In other developments:

Site ceskedalnice.cz (http://www.ceskedalnice.cz/) reports a new D1 section (aka former D47) Bílovec - Ostrava is due to open on April 29 2008. The crucial part of the 11,7 km long section is 1080 m long Klimkovice tunnel undergoing a spa town next to Ostrava.

Later into the year, opening of another D1 (ex D47) leg is planned. Aprox. 16 km long Lipník nad Bečvou - Bělotín section is due to open in november 2008.

Another important date is April 8, when the contruction of the last 6 km long section of the motorway linking its current end in Bohumín with Polish border will officially commence. The section is due to open in 2010 together with the adjacent part of Polish A1 motorway.

ice and snow (simply Czech weather in March) + foreign trucks with summer tires + D1 "motorway" = 120 destroyed vehicles (only a part on the photos above) + 30;000 people imprisoned in very cold weather for many hours

První část dálnice D47 je v provozu teprve od začátku loňského prosince. Úsek dlouhý 17,2 kilometru z Ostravy do Bohumína zatím využívají jen řidiči osobních vozidel.

Skanska AB has won an order from the Czech highway administration to build a 11-kilometer stretch of four-lane highway on the D1, from Kromeriz to Rikovice, including a bypass for the city of Hulin in the east of the country.
Work begins immediately and the highway is scheduled to be competed in 2011.

Excelent! And does it include whole D1/R55/R49 crossing near Hulín? Or there will be only built D1-R49 direction and the rest of it later?

An experienced driver (myself :) ) would tell you that looking behind is exactly as important as forward...

Running on LPG makes using a private car far more competitive than public transport. And after D1 is completed, I'll be able to get from Ova to Prg in 3 hours safely. Regarding the accident.. I have a similar experience but I managed to deal with it. Life with a car is easier.

^ LPG and CNG is cheap only because of state subsidies. I think public transport is much safer and that is important to me. Moreover I can read or do something when travelling, something that car will never offer to me. Car makes man his slave, I feel much more free.

No, car makes man free! Of course, one has to pay for freedom!

BTW LPG is not cheap because of subsidies... but petrol is expensive due to taxes. This is a little bit different kind of thinking!

Exactly. LPG is less taxed by the government. However, when everybody would switch to LPG, I'm sure they raise the taxes. Owning a car is a great way for the government to put as many taxes on it as possible. Without taxes, petrol would be less expensive than LPG, about € 0,54 in the Netherlands. However, it's at € 1,66 now :(

No.
Car make us dependend.
And cars limit our space.

Taxes are relatively low.

Have you ever tried to calculate the real cost per kilometre by a car (esp.1-person-ride), including road costs, road supplement infrastructure, pollution externality costs, loose of agriculture area? Public transport is more eficient even if subventions pass 65% of total costs still!!!

Taxes are still very low considering how exhaust gases destroy our air in cities and living conditions generally...
X236K: You try to claim that if 50 people go by bus it's more expensive than if these people would use a car each? :nuts:

Car: price 250k, fuel consumption: 1,50 (using LPG), average lifespan: 200kkm, average usage: 2 person, service cost: cca 125k (1/2 of price...?). Cost of ownership: 675k, cost per km and person: 1,70

Bus: price 5M, fuel consumption: 25l/100km = 8,80, average lifespan: 2Mkm, average usage: 30 person, service cost: cca 2M (I just guess...). Cost of ownership: 24,6M, cost per km and person: 0,41

Well after seeing those numbers I must be far wrong but the formula is correct. Anyone could calculate that using real data?

No.
Car make us dependend.
And cars limit our space.

Taxes are relatively low.

Have you ever tried to calculate the real cost per kilometre by a car (esp.1-person-ride), including road costs, road supplement infrastructure, pollution externality costs, loose of agriculture area? Public transport is more eficient even if subventions pass 65% of total costs still!!!

Buses and cars are sharing the same infrastructure so one cannot say that the cost you mentioned is different for each. Please don't tell me that railway is a kind of substitute service... because it is definitively not. There are advantages (heavy cargo, speed...) but also disadvantages (rails simply does not cover the whole country, huge construction cost...)

Also, we need to keep in mind that car industry (or transportation generally) is boosting the economy by creating more GDP, pushing technology advances, making goods movable and therefore cheaper (could an Argentinian meat producer be able to compete with Europen if there is no way how to ship his product to Europe cheaply...?).

I don't want to say that cars are the only solution. Just paraphrase Samuelson: "Cars are good, cars are best, cars are not ideal.". Try to think about this: how would the world look like if there were no cars...?

And, not sure how about you, but my car makes me free. Free in terms of movement. I pay for this kind of freedom a lot but this is my will. It is my private and independent decision to live the way I live.

Taxes are still very low considering how exhaust gases destroy our air in cities and living conditions generally...

Actually, it's a overrated urban legend that cars are the main contributors to pollution. Nationwide, it's usually between 5 - 10% of the total. In densely populated Netherlands with 9 million vehicles, it's only 6% of the pollution in the air.

Some parties (political or ideological) like to dramatize these facts heavily. I bet most pollution in the Czech republic comes from factories, and industrial area's outside the nation, like Upper Silesia or from Germany.

Pollution of traffic is very local. If you live 50m from a main highway or motorway, the pollution of that road is barely higher than the background concentrations. Most of the pollution is diluted quickly, or stays above the roadway. People are worst off in street canyons, where winds cannot dilute the exhaust. The concentrations are the highest there. Almost as bad as tunnels.

I am not a militant green. I just want to say I agree with subvention of public transport and with urban planning where transport issue is based on public transport.

Chriszwolle:

I will try to find a source, but as far as I know road traffic in CZ is the largest pollution source since mid 90s, where it passed pollution made out of industrial production.

Prague, June 29 (CTK) - The Czech motorway network is now 1,022 km long, and the entire network will be completed in 2020 at the latest, Alfred Brunclik, head of the Roads and Motorways Directorate (RSD), has said.

Around 1,000 km are yet to be built, and 136 km are under construction. Forty-four km of new motorways will be completed this year.

The completion of the motorway network will cost around Kc400bn, and the Czech Republic will also get money from European funds. Between 2007 and 2013 RSD will get a record Kc70bn from the EU.

Finally?

Actually the construction of this section was intentionally postponed because the motorway on the polish side wouldn't be finished any sooner.

Are you sure about 2010? I'm positive, be Poland able to finish their part by 2010, Czech republic would adjust its construction schedule accordingly.

Good news - agreement to build last missing section of Polish A1 highway from Czech border to A4 highway (Sośnica intersection) has been signed today with Strabag and HEILIT+WOERNER consortium. Which means that entire section shall be ready by 2010-06

Actual situation with south part of A1 highway construction looks as follows:

1. Czech border (Gorzyczki) - Świerklany (18,3 km) under construction till 2010-02 by Alpine
2. Świerklany - Bełk (14,1 km) under cunstruction till 2010-06 by Strabag, Heilit Woerner
3. Bełk - Sośnica (15,4 km) under construction till 2009-02 by J&P Avax
4. Sośnica intersection with A4 under construction till 2009-11 by J&P Avax
Świerklany

Let's see if we manage to drive from Gliwice to Ostrava all the way on highway (Polish A1/Czech D47) by 2010-06 :cheers:

Expected costs for this ~70km long stretch are 40.4bln Kč, to be paid over 30 years period. The part should be finished in 2014 (I don't think so). Both construction and maintenance of the new part are included, as well as maintenance of the state-financed part Nová Hospoda (http://www.mapy.cz/#x=133566976@y=134021120@z=11@mm=ZP@sa=s@st=s@ssq=Loc:%2049%C2%B032%2741.423%22N,%2014%C2%B039%2751.728%22E@sss=1@ssp=133506048_133897088_133739008_134105344) - Veselí nad Lužnicí.

On Polish side construction is well visible, there is a lot of earthworks to do.

By Pavel Baroch / Aktuálně.cz / January 7, 2009
Czech drivers this year will be able to enjoy seven new motorways and high-speed roads, totalling 53 km. The longest segments will open in autumn, connecting the D1 between Olomouc and Ostrava.

"The year 2009 will be key for the D1," said Martina Vápeníková, spokeswoman for the The Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic. In November three segments totalling 34.4 km will open on this important connection.

The construction of Prague's ring road should also make some advances this year. And by the spring of 2010, Brno's D1 and Plzeň's D5 should be connected.

The highway network has doubled in the last 20 years
The highway network has doubled in the last 20 years. In 1989 drivers had 544 km of motorways and high-speed roads at their disposal; now they will have 1,056 km.

"The biggest advances were made in the last two years, when 136 km of new motorways and high-speed roads were added," said Vápeníková.

Czech EU Presidency unveils Three Es as key prioriotiesEurope is headed for Muslim future, says Czech CardinalCzech mothers to get higher maternity pay
Once the project is complete, the network of four-lane motorways should total approximately 2,100 km.

The most important initiatives will include the already-mentioned D1 motorway in northern Moravia, the D3 leading from Prague through České Budějovice to the Austrian border, Prague's ring road and the D8 from Prague through Ústí nad Labem to the German border.

"High-speed roads are also important, for example the R35 between Hradec Králové and Olomouc, the R6 to Karlovy Vary, the R7 to Chomutov, as well as several others," said Alfred Brunclík, director of the Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic.

106 km in 13 locations
In the last year, construction of 13 segments, totalling 106 km, has begun. The longest continuous four-lane motorway is the D3, now being built in southern Bohemia, connecting Tábor and Veselí nad Lužnicí and totalling 25 km.

An already-begun high-speed road from Hulín to Fryšták, totalling more than 17 km and the D1 from Kroměříž to Říkovice, totalling around 11 km.

In the Karlovy Vary region there is also the ongoing construction of the high-speed road R6. Its part from Prague to Pavlov was opened several days before the end of the year.

Projects completed in 2008:

Motorways:
D 1 Bílovec - Ostrava Rudná 6 May 2008
D 1 Kojetín - Kroměříž východ 23 September 2008
D 1 Lipník nad Bečvou - Bělotín 25 November 2008
