The Minister of Transport Dan Ťok kicked off the work on almost 10 km of the D6 motorway between Prague and Karlovy Vary in an opening ceremony The Nové Strašecí – Řevničov and the Řevničov bypass projects will relieve the local municipalities from transit traffic and reduce the travel time from Prague to this regional town. Both construction projects were tendered for two thirds of the price.

"In this section we are replacing the low-capacity I/6 road. We want to relieve residents from transit traffic. We are building a modern, safe road and we will open it to drivers in October 2020," said the Transport Minister Dan Ťok.

The contract for both D6 sections, the construction of which has recently started, was awarded with a significant financial saving. For the Nové Strašecí – Řevničov section the building costs could be reduced from the estimated CZK 1.15 billion (excluding VAT) to 745 million, i.e. a saving of 35% off the price. The Řevničov bypass will cost CZK 1.06 billion instead of the CZK 1.8 billion estimated. So in this case the saving is 41%.

When converting the cost per one kilometre, the section D6 Nové Strašecí – Řevničov is the cheapest tendered section of all.

The new ten kilometres of the D6 motorway will open to drivers in the autumn of 2020. Next year work will also start on the Lubenec bypass.

A total of 75 km of new motorways and 86 km of category I roads are currently under construction. The ministry completed 96 km of motorways over the last four years, of which 33 km are completely new sections and 63 km are modernised section of the D1 motorway, which actually equals the construction of a completely new motorway during operation. Already on Monday, December 11, the construction of the relocation of the I/16 road Slaný – Velvary started. This new road will effectively create the bypass of Slaný and divert transit traffic from the city.
