It's an exploration tunnel in the axis of future full-profile tunnel. It is being rebuilt now...

Tunnels underpassed Vltava river now. Construction continues pretty fast.

Great photos! I have a few questions about the proposed bridge connecting T'roger with Holly-V.

1) When is the proposed start/finish date? Will it be opened prior to the tunnel?

2) Will they be replacing the current tram bridge?

3) Will there be a new road built hugging the river in the direction of Kralupy Nad Vltavou, to eleviate the traffic on Trojska ulice?

Much appreciated.

1) According to this page the construction is sheduled to begin on the 1st of february 2008 and completion is planned on June 30 2010. So the bridge should indeed be opened a couple of months before tunnels.

2) According to the same source, the tram track on the new bridge should be operational since March 31 2010. The old tram bridge will be dismantled and removed soon afterwards.

3) As far as I know no. There are some suggestions/ideas to build a tramway track running over the currently built flood defence bank to serve the zoo, but nothing beyond these has materialized so far.

[Troja Tom]

Thanks for the answers HiRazor. Driving to work has turned into a bit of a ball-ache recently (with all the traffic waiting to get on to most barikadniku) so I eagerly await the arrival. I also much welcome the idea of the tram line to the Zoo as I think it will attract more people/interest in the area.

A ještě trochu starší obrázek rozestavěné hyper-mega-ultra křižovatky na Břevnově... těm lidem v bytech okolo trochu nezávidím. A ještě víc jim nezávidím jestli jsou ty jejich byty vlastní protože o trochu peněz příjdou no.

[HiRazor]

Nejsem si jist, jestli cena bytů v dané lokalitě po dostavbě MO klesne. Spíš si myslím, že by mohla i stoupnout, vzhledem k tomu, že se se výrazně zklidní doprava v Patočkově.

[Aktron]

Ale to zklidní, ale v místě kudy budou auta projíždět (ta "ďoura" s křižovatkou) toho bude jezdit mnohem víc a mnohem rychleji. Možná to ty stěny utlumí, ale stejně mi to příjde takový divný. Místo tunelu bych spíš radši nechal zbourat tu chatovou osadu a postavil napůl krytou šestiproudou silnici v zářezu, kolem by byly parky (aby se vyrovnal ekologický deficit). Patočkova by se mohla zúžit, jeden ze dvou pruhů by se mohl změnit v pěší zónu a doprava by jezdila zbylýma dvěma.

An artificial hill is being built there for free-skaters or what?

[Herzarsen]

They will first excavate land, build the tunnel ramp and then cover it again with the ground so only small peice of tunnel ram will be showing. That is why they are not moving the ground away from the city and leaving it around since most of it will go back where it came from!

Strahov tunnel is 10 years old, how time flies!
