Delays are now affecting construction work for the Czech Republic’s Ceske Budejovice bypass project. As a result, the bypass will not be ready for traffic until 2024.

Geological problems in the Pohurka Tunnel are at the heart of the delays. Dealing with unexpectedly high levels of groundwater will add around €3.88 million to the project. In all, the project is costing around 204.9 million.
