This new four-lane link will feature two interchanges. The D35 is part of the northern route linking Bohemia and Moravia and is intended to serve as an alternative route to the D1 highway.

The contract includes building 25 bridges. Of these, seven bridges will cross above the highway, while the remaining 18 form part of the route itself. The largest bridge is a 1,060m-long overpass spanning the Elbe River and its floodplain area. Seven noise abatement walls also form part of the contract.
