Czech railway infrastructure manager Správa železniční dopravní cesty (SZDC) completed the reconstruction of Praha-Hostivař railway station. This is the first step of an extensive project having as objective to modernise the Prague railway junction in the section from Hostivař almost up to the Prague Main Station.
The project included a complex reconstruction of the main and relief tracks, adapting the track development (switches) and building a new track which takes into account the connection to storage yard Odstavné nádraží Praha Jih and rolling stock depot Depo kolejových vozidel Praha. The reconstruction also included building new centre platforms with grade-separated access for passengers – a new underpass connecting at the same time the territory having been divided by the railway up to now. All platforms acquired new roofing, and anti-noise barriers were built along the line.
Phase I was co-financed from the Operational Programme Transport within the programming period 2007–2013 with CZK 573 million (EUR 21.3 million).
