Representatives from the Czech Ministry of Transport and the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure agreed on the most optimal route of water corridor, which will help to make Oder river navigable all the way to the Czech Republic. The water route, which will flow west of Bohumín in the section of Czech/Polish border – Koźle, is the shortest option in the Czech Republic, strictly avoiding precious meanders and providing Bohumín with better development conditions and flood protection.

The Czech Republic and Poland coordinate not only preparation of navigability of Oder river, but also inclusion of Oder waterway into the Trans-European transport network (TEN-T).

The Moravian-Silesian region offers unique options to connect all transport modes. Czechia and Poland continue to work on a cross-border section of high-speed rail Bohumín – Ostrava – Přerov and prepare modernisation of the entire Ostrava railway node.
