No Vienna-Prague link in Austria-Czech road agreement

A direct motorway between Austria’s capital, Vienna, and the Czech Republic capital, Prague, is not part of a new agreement on road connections between the two nations. The agreement formed by Austrian and Czech transport ministers Erwin Pröll and Antonin Prachar states that a four-lane A5 motorway will only go as far as Poysbrunn on the Austrian side, and will then continue with two lanes towards the Czech border. The overall road link is due to be completed in 2017.
