It is going well near Olbramovice, the coveted bypass will arrive half a year earlier
In addition to other extensions of the D3 and D4 motorways, there is perhaps no more discussed road project in the region. In addition, it has been talked about for almost three decades, with almost agreed construction again. Olbramovice has been burdened by extremely heavy traffic for years.
At peak times, 30,000 cars, including trucks, pass through the village center every day. That is also why the locals repeatedly protested and several times “reached” the temporary blockade of the coup in the middle of the village.
“I am in contact with the construction company almost daily and I have only positive impressions. They are really good at it, hat down, what they did there in such a short time, “praises the current situation, the mayor of Olbramovice, Ivan Novák.
Instead of March 2023, the I / 3 move could be completed by the end of next year.
Dust, mud, but most of all hope
On the other hand, the mayor also on certain negatives. In addition to the almost continuous flow of cars, the inhabitants of the municipality now have to bear the additional burden of the movement of equipment on the road under construction.
According to Ivan Novák, however, people are patient. Mainly because he is looking forward to relief after completing the bypass.
“When it’s dry, we’re shrouded in clouds of dust, when it’s raining, we’re bothered by mud again. But the result would be a reward for all locals, “said the mayor of Olbramovice.
The extremely smooth progress was already evident in the first autumn weeks.
“Currently, the employees of the company M – road lay on a third of the entire section of the construction layer. That means living layers. He will lay asphalt concrete this year. It is the penultimate or loading layer, followed by abrasive, ie classic asphalt.
In other parts, they operate on the sewerage pipeline, ”describes Martin Buček, the spokesman of the ŘSD Martin Buček, saying that in addition to the main route itself, relocations and connections of side roads need to be completed next year.
They’re really good at it, hat down, what they did there in such a short time.

When completed, the cars will find themselves on a completely new section of the exceptionally busy I / 3 road. The Olbramovice mine section on a bypass with a length of 3,420 meters, while the 1,198-meter road will line the noise walls in two places. The transfer follows at the beginning and end of the already built bypasses around Tomice and Votic.
Part of the construction, its millions of control systems estimated at 321 crowns, are also three bridges, a level crossing and a pedestrian underpass. Use ŘSD co-financing within the Transport Operational Program from the European Regional Development Fund for the bypass.
Precisely targeted research
Archaeological research has not delayed the builders, which in the event of unexpected finds may complicate some road projects. Even at Olbramovice, however, scientists have come across an interesting message from the distant past. But good planning helped.
“First, during the initial survey, they identified a location where it would be good to conduct rescue research. He focused on specific places, near Olbramovice it was mainly about the surroundings of the chapel, “explains the progress of archaeological work Martin Buček.
Archaeologists have discovered, for example, two lime kilns from the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries in the corridor of the future bypass. Even more interesting were the fragments of pottery and the remains of a house from the 13th century.
