The project, which was awarded by the Czech railway infrastructure administration, Spr谩va 啪elezni膷n铆 dopravn铆 cesty, involves upgrading the Sudom臎艡ice-Votice line.
The contract is one of the last parts of a larger scheme to shorten journeys between Prague and the south of Bohemia.聽
OHL will build a second track, two new tunnels and a railway station.聽 The track will have a new layout that is two kilometres shorter than the present one and the velocity of the trains will increase to 160km/h. The new Mezno聽 and聽 Debore膷聽 tunnels will be 840m and 660m long, respectably.
The existing stations of St艡ezim铆艡, Je拧etice and He艡mani膷ky will be replaced by the 膶erven媒 脷jezd station, which in turn, will be complemented by stops at Mezno, St艡ezim铆艡, 膶erven媒 脷jezd, Je拧etice and He艡mani膷ky. Between the Je拧etice and He艡mani膷ky stops, two bridges will be built, the largest of which will be 244m.
The project is part of the 2014-2020 Transport Operative Program and is co-financed by the European Structural & Investment Funds and by the Czech Republic State Transport Infrastructure fund.
