Connections to drive momentum in the Czech Republic
Background: In the Czech Republic, the D4 Via Salis highway concession granted to VINCI Highways in 2020 for 24 years was the country’s first ever public-private partnership for a road project.
In 2021, VINCI Highways began work to build a new 32 km section of road between Příbram and Písek and modernise an existing 16 km road. It is the first full Building Information Modelling (BIM) road project in the Czech Republic and stands out for its focus on innovation and the environment. The new highway will be kitted out with cutting-edge technological systems that guarantee a high level of road safety, as well as driver comfort, improving traffic conditions and flows. Construction is scheduled to finish in December 2024.
By improving links between South Bohemia and Prague, this new highway connection will support the economic and social development of this rural region, as well as communication with other major economies particularly neighbouring Germany and Austria.
