In the Czech Republic there is disagreement over the routes for the R43 and R52 expressways, which are being upgraded. Although the regional authorities in South Moravia wish to retain the proposed routes for the R43 and R52 expressways, there is local resistance to these plans. The regional authorities say that the R43 linking Brno to Svitavy will run through Bystrc while the R52 linking Brno to Austria's capital Vienna will go through Nove Mlyny. However local groups oppose the plans and have suggested alternative routes, with the prospect of legal action being taken to force the issue. With the R52 providing a clear connection to neighbouring Austria, the route of is of particular importance to the Czech economy and the regional authorities are keen for the plans to be approved.
