Upgrade work to five sections of the D1 highway in the Czech Republic is due to commence in spring 2012. The first sections to be reuilt are from are Sternov-Psare, Loket-Horice, Vetrny Jenikov-Jihlava, Lhotka-Velka Bites and Velka Bites-Devet Krizu. The Transport Ministry prioritised these sections for repair, although full permission has yet to be given before the work can commence. Meanwhile the Czech Government will have to find funds worth €446.6 million towards key transport projects where planned co-financing has now been rejected by the 3287 EU.
