Only 5 months remain until the D11 motorway from Hradec Králové through Smiřice to Jaroměř will be completed. This December, the currently 90.8 kilometres long motorway will have another 22.4 kilometres. This year will also begin the construction of a 6.6 kilometres long Jaroměř Bypass on road no. I/33.

“The final works include construction of grade separated junction in Plotiště and Smiřice, construction of bridges or laying down tarmac surface. Workers are also planting some greenery and finishing the works on flyovers. According to the current schedule, the motorway will open on Friday, 17 December”, said the Minister of Transport Karel Havlíček and added that the public will be allowed to see the motorway before its opening during the autumn Open Construction Day.

However, the motorway still lacks 40.8 kilometres from Jaroměř through Trutnov to the state borders with Poland. “We are speeding up the process of completing D11 thanks to the Act No. 416/2009 Coll. Instead of the original final date in 2029, we will open the stretch leading to the Polish borders by the end of 2025. There are also intensive works on the Polish side because Poland wants to finish their part by the end of 2023”, added Minister.

Currently, 1,000 of workers and hundreds of machines are building 151.5 kilometres of entirely new motorways on green-field. Among the motorways with the highest number of construction works is D11 with 22.4 kilometres and an alternative connection between Bohemia and Moravia on D35 with 27.3 kilometres. The longest undivided motorway stretch is being constructed on D4 between Příbram and Písek in the length of 32 kilometres.
