So, they only told which roads are gonna be built, but not what they cost??
Hey, we're over 1000 replies! :cheers:

The 96bn SFDI's budget is split this way (unless I made some terrible mistake in calculation):
54.5bn - motorway, expressway and road investments
21.5bn - rail investments
8bn - rail maintenance
7.5bn - maintenance of motorways, expressways and roads
2.5bn - waterways
2bn - electronic toll system

Here's what I've collected from ŘSD and SFDI about the aforementioned stretches. Please note that:
  • start of the investment doesn't mean start of the construction
  • putting the stretch into the service isn't equal to end of the investment
  • some numbers look really weird
  • possibly everything is a subject to change :D
  • costs & funding figures are in mil. CZK
  • some stretches here are put together from smaller ones; sadly detailed info and maps on the ŘSD website are available only in Czech
Code:

^^ Yeah, it's hard to write some number when everything changes very fast, and there is also problem with the type of the amount - incl. VAT or excl., onliy construction costs or complete project costs...

BTW Signage on motrways around Brno is being changed recently, one good example is also a new sign (signs) on Brno-west feeder at D1, first time you can see those four cities besides each other without any smaller city like Břeclav, Mikulov or Olomouc - Ostrava was added recently because of D1 prolongation, so now it's OSTRAVA, BRATISLAVA (SK), WIEN (A) and PRAHA, three capital cities near Brno :))

So according to this website http://www.ceskedalnice.cz/dalnicni-sit/ve-stavbe there are currently cca 150 kms of motorways and expressways u/c, 62,4 kms should be opened in 2010.

Current D+R network is 1113 km long.
Massive truck pile-up due to foggy weather occured today on D8 near German border, 12 trucks, 1 van and 1 car included. Photos: http://aktualne.centrum.cz/zpravy/n.../01/20/foto-hromadna-nehoda-12-kamionu-na-d8/

Phew. At least the guardrails did their job.

yeah, but tight
^^ Similar (but not that serious) stuff just few weeks ago on D5.


Anyway, some news:
Czech and Polish transportation ministers have agreed that the border connection of D1+A1 should be finished in March 2012 (according to today's news).

R4 and R7 ar not even under construction, so not possible
R56 - true but not as an expressway, only dual carriageway
MO - November 2012 - unfortunately!

What is not yet under construction on M0 between MUK Blanka and the connection to the road 8?
I guess that bridge?
What is not yet under construction on M0 between MUK Blanka and the connection to the road 8?
I guess that bridge?
On th main route there is a tunnel under the Vltava river, that bridge has only a feeder function, so its construction is not necessary for completion of the ring's main route. Nowadays all parts of 'Blanka' are under construction, the last one waiting was a small stretch just after the Malovanka interchange where the Strahov tunnel begins. Opening date, OTOH, was suspended few months ago to 2012...

Deaths on road statistics for Czech republic - year 2009

832 dead people (-160 against 2008)
3536 serious injuries (-273)
23777 light injuries (-999)

123 dead at accidents "caused by" alcohol (there was only alcohol presented, it's stupid to make statements it's cause of accident)

5700 accidents with alcohol (7200 in 2008)

522 accidents with cyclists

Mystery still surrounds the connections between Czechia and Poland in the north of CZ.

It seems clear by now, that Polish S3 will run to Lubawka. However, both S5 and S8 do not seem to be planned anywhere south or southwest of Wrocław, to connect towards Praha.

The construction of D11 seems to be clear to Jaroměř. After that, there are vague plans for an R11 from Jaroměř via Trutnov towards the S3 near Lubawka.

However, such a route will not connect Praha with Wrocław (and Warszawa). If I remember correctly, Wrocław is signed on D11. So how will this shape up in the future? I have no idea.

If it was up to me, D11 would run to the Polish border at Náchod, and S5 or S8 would continue via Kłodzko towards Wrocław. Another R-road would be running towards the Polish S3 for north-south traffic.

To clear this situation:

New Praha - Wrocław connection is supposed to go through Lubawka. I've seen a new polish proposal for TEN-T network and there surely is foreseen a direct connection along today's DK5 from Wrocław to Lubawka.

Zone planning documents of Lower-silesian voivodship show, that A8 is planned there.

In the same document there are also corridors for other S-class roads, esp. S5 from A8 to Kłodzko and then further heading south to PL/CZ border near Boboszów/Dolní Lipka.

In the corridor Jaroměř - Náchod - Kłodzko a high-quality primary road should be built, with bypasses and some interchanges on important junctions.

BTW Chris, good job with all those special characters :))

Okay, that clears things up. The route via Lubawka would be only like 10 - 15 km longer than via Náchod.

Another question I have regards the Praha - Wien connections. Currently, Austrian S3 is built as a 2+1 road with reservation for future 2x2 between Hollabrunn and Guntersdorf, with a future option to extend it towards the Czech border.

Are there plans to built an expressway from Znojmo to Jihlava? In Austria, most priority nowadays seems to be on the Wien - Brno connection (also towards southern Poland). However, the route Wien - Praha via A5-R52-D1 is over 35 km longer than via A22-S3-I/38-D1. I wonder why this route seems to have a low priority by both the Austrian and Czech governments.
