Just like Moravian Gate I between Prosenice and Hranice in the Přerov region, already in the design process, the connecting section to Brodek u Přerova will serve exclusively passenger trains with a speed of up to 320 km/h. The civil engineers will propose the location and technical solution of the 12-kilometre line, its connection to the existing corridor Prague – Ostrava and the accompanying infrastructure. The contract also includes the geographic information system (GIS) for the public, the geological survey and the preparation of documentation for the environmental impact assessment (EIA).

The extension from Prosenice to Brodek u Přerova is based on the approved feasibility study (Brno –) Přerov – Ostrava from 2021. The construction of this connection with the HSL planned will bring a number of benefits to the regional capital of Haná such as shorter journey times between individual towns or a positive impulse for housing development.

The HSL Moravian Gate I between Prosenice and Hranice, which is to be followed by the extension of the HSL to Brodek u Přerova, is part of the new railway connection between Brno and Ostrava. You can check the latest proposal of the high-speed line at the GIS portal: https://geoportal.ekolagroup.cz/vrtmoravskabrana1/. The technical solution of the extension of the line from Prosenice to Brodek u Přerova will also be published online after completion.
