The Czech Republic is setting out its programme to develop its road infrastructure network. The plans call for work to build 360km of roads and highways as well as maintaining existing stretches. The construction plans include work on the Prerov section of the D1 highway, a stretch of the D40 from Hulin to Frystak, the Hodejovice section of the D3 highway and the Frydek-Mistek by-pass. They also include work to two sections each of the D35 highway and D11 highway as well as a number of bypasses for the D6 highway. A budget of €2.86 billion for infrastructure development has been earmarked by the State Transport Infrastructure Fund. Of this, €1.18 billion will be used for roads.

In a bid to speed up the highway construction process in the Czech Republic, the Transport Ministry is setting out a new process that could reduce delays. The proposals would allow the state to carry out land surveys and carry out some minor preliminary works, without permission from the owner of the land as this is used in Germany at present. If accepted, the new process would only be utilised for major capital projects however.
