Description

The project concerns the greenfield construction of an eastern section of the Prague ring-road. The R0 motorway section is 12.64 km long and has a 2x3 lanes configuration. The road is part of Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Core Network.

Objectives

The new transport link will improve transport and living conditions in the Prague region by diverting a significant volume of transit traffic from its urban centre. The project will contribute to the development of the TEN-T Baltic-Adriatic and Orient/East-Med Corridor, by removing the bottleneck on the core network roads. Ultimately, the aim is to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, by providing with a resilient shorter road connection.
