SŽDC Acquired another Territorial Decision for Building a Railway Line to the Airport

Building administrations issued a territorial decision for Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SŽDC) concerning another line section being a part of the project Modernization of the line Prague-Kladno with a connection to Václav Havel Airport, more specifically between the new railway stop Praha-Výstaviště and the railway station Praha-Bubny.

Modernization of the line Praha-Bubny (included) – Praha-Výstaviště (included) deals with adding a second track, electrifying the line section, modernizing the railway station Praha-Bubny and creating a new railway stop Praha-Výstaviště.

The railway station Praha-Bubny will be moved further to the south. A common station for the lines to Kralupy nad Vltavou and to Kladno with four tracks and three platforms will be situated right after the Negrelli viaduct. Access there will be assured on the southern side from the current vestibule of the underground C line station Vltavská and from the tram stop on the Bubny riverbank; on the northern side, it will be provided from the new central square with a future second underground station vestibule. Handling premises for passengers will be situated in the underpasses under the tracks.

The station trackage and connected line sections will be elevated above the surrounding terrain and led on several bridge overpasses which will span both over the new central square and crossing streets from Bubenská to Dukelských hrdinů Avenue. The area under the overpasses will improve local territory transmittance and it can be also used for commercial purposes.

A new railway stop Praha-Výstaviště is designed to be created to the east from Dukelských hrdinů Avenue in the vicinity of Výstaviště (Prague Exhibition Ground) and Královská obora (the Royal Preserve Park) in accordance with the ground plan.

Documentation which the territorial decision was used for reckons with the line being led on the bridge overpass. From the biggest assets of the partial construction we can enumerate creating a direct connection between the railway and the underground C line station Vltavská, freeing the area at Bubny for new town planning development, improving accessibility of Stromovka park and closing a railway crossing.

In November, SŽDC acquired a territorial decision for the line section Kladno – Kladno-Ostrovec and already prepares documentation for the building permit.

Modernization of the line Praha – Kladno with a connection to Václav Havel Airport is one of the biggest transport projects in the Czech Republic and presents a necessary answer of the infrastructure to the expected development of air transport. Its importance also consists in classifying both our capital and the city of Kladno among modern European agglomerations with a railway connection to the airport.
