Will there be a traffic collapse? The underpass in Průběžná will be closed for three months
However, problems also await car drivers, because forgetting trams and introducing alternative bus transport will intensify the already heavy traffic in V Korytech Street. The trouble occurred at the time of the first closure due to the demolition of the old railway bridge over Průběžná in January this year, and at that time a hard lockdown still applied due to the covid-19 infection, so it was operated lower lower.
So the information “delays in the bus network due to strong IAD (individual car transport, ed. Note)” will certainly appear on the site of transport even more often than now.
Dopravní podnik hl. of the City of Prague (DPP) and Technical Administration of Communication The City of Prague (TSK), in coordination with this important construction, is using the closures and has demonstrated all the necessary work in the section. For example, DPP will repair the tram line, replace the rails at the Dubečská stop and the Hostivař Shopping Center, and connect the new Zahradní Město tram loop to the existing network.
Construction of the Garden City loop
In addition, it will repair the tram line at and near the Nádraží Hostivař turnoff. The exclusions are also used by TSK, which will build barrier-free access to the area of the tram loops at Nádraží Hostivař and will rehabilitate the retaining walls around the tram body in Průmyslová Street.
After the closure, passengers will be served by the new Nádraží Zahradní Město stop, which will stop tram and bus connections. The Zahradní Město Nádraží stop will replace the existing Na Padesátém stop.
From 16 September 2021, the new Zahradní Město tram loop, which DPP is currently building, will also serve passengers. The connections of line no. 22, which currently end in the Radošovická loop, will enter it. And from Sunday, September 26, 2021, train connections should stop at the new Prague – Zahradní Město railway station, which is being built by the Railway Administration.
