Upgrade work to five sections of the D1 highway in the Czech Republic is due to commence in spring 2012. The first sections to be rebuilt are from are Sternov-Psare, Loket-Horice, Vetrny Jenikov-Jihlava, Lhotka-Velka Bites and Velka Bites-Devet Krizu. The 2965 Czech Ministry of Transport prioritised these sections for repair, although full permission has yet to be given before the work can commence.

Meanwhile the Czech Government will have to find funds worth €446.6 million towards key transport projects where planned co-financing has now been rejected by the EU.

The D8 highway project lost its portion of EU funding due to questions over environmental issues. At the same time, the Nymburk bypass project lost its EU funding due to unclear technical requirements while the cost of the work has also risen during the construction process.
