In Prague, traffic will be temporarily suspended or limited
In the spring of this year, navigation will be stopped at the Prague – Modřany lock and then at the small Prague – Podbaba lock. The State Navigation Administration (SPS) informs about it on its website.
In order to ensure the safety of traffic on the waterway, the SPS will stop navigation on the Vltava waterway through the Prague-Modřany lock chamber, line km 62.21, from 14.03.2022 to 01.04.2022, due to the reassembly of the tumblers in the middle gate of the lock chamber in order to ensure the proper technical condition of safety and operation of the waterworks.
Due to maintenance reasons and also in order to ensure the safety of traffic on the waterway, the SPS will subsequently stop the navigation on the Vltava waterway through the small lock chamber Prague-Podbaba, line Ř. km 43.25, from 20.04.2022 to 04.05.2022. The reason is the planned inspection of the lock chamber in order to ensure the proper technical condition and safe operation of the waterworks. Navigation traffic will take place through the large lock chamber Prague-Podbaba in that period.
