Czech Highway Planning Works are Underway

D35 Highway Building Ceremony

Construction planning is ongoing in the Czech Republic for a new highway stretch.

Building the 12-kilometre section of the D35 highway from Janov near Litomyšl to Opatovce near Svitav started with a ceremonial tap of the hammer in the presence of the political elite and top officials of the Directorate of Roads and Highways.

The new section of the D35 highway will measure 16.6km in length. The work will cost €618 million and contains building the Czech Republic’s most extended highway tunnel section plus 17 bridges. It is said to be finished in November 2025 and will alleviate another section of the congested state road I/35.

The Janov – Opatovec section does not link to the already completed section of the highway from Opatovice nad Labem to Ostrov before Vysoký Mýt. Drivers will have to wait a few more years for the intermediate bypasses of Vysoké Mýt and particularly Litomyšl, where there were significant disputes about the highway’s route.

In comparison, the section from Genoa to Opatovce was nearly problem-free in terms of preparation and negotiations with opponents of the construction.

The construction of a railway bridge over the Česká Třebová – Brno corridor already started in advance on the Janov – Opatovec section.

The Czech government has published a tender for section D35 Janov – Opatovec which should be completed by 2026.
