A land dispute that has stalled the completion of the D11 motorway in the Czech Republic for more than 17 years is reportedly nearing its end.
The Czech road management firm RSD has applied for planning permission to build the D11 between Prague and Hradec Kralove omitting the disputed land.
But it’s reported that the Transport Ministry is looking to come to an agreement with the owner of the last outstanding bit of land on the originally proposed D11 route, which will allow the preferred route to be completed.
The construction of the D11 motorway connecting Prague, Hradec Kralove and the Polish borders started in 1978, and is estimated to cost a total of around CZK 34bn (US$1.73bn). The 85km section to Hradec Kralove, worth an estimated CZK 1.5bn, is currently in use, but the 70km section to the Polish borders is awaiting completion.
