Radlická radial: Realization as early as 2023?
It has a radial of about 5.5 kilometers connect the outer and inner circuit in the southwest of the metropolis and divert traffic from existing congested roads. The new road project is now in territorial management, which, due to a large number of different objections, was significantly prolonged. “It’s been an incredible five years,” said Deputy Mayor Adam Scheinherr (Praha Sobě) today.

Since 2019, several studies have been created for the announced modifications. The first deals with the connection of the Jinonic and Butovicky tunnels and according to the document approved today, it proved its reality and usefulness. Scheinherr added that in addition to connecting the tunnels, the plan is also to slightly extend them towards the west, which is supposed to protect the residential development.
Another study involved the area around the subway station Jinonica, where the city from the presented variants according to the document prefers editing, which provides for a different route of traffic between the intersection with U Trezorka and Puchmajerova streets. Adjustments could wait i intersection at the Nové Butovice subway, which was originally planned as an extra-level one. “We managed to come up with a solution that gets the radial to the surface,” Scheinherr said, adding that the new solution will be better for both drivers and pedestrians and cyclists.
Another study is latest AND was tasked with investigating the possibility of covering the road at its western end from the connection to the Rozvadovská spojka to the metro station Nové Butovice, where it is supposed to lead past residential buildings in the Botanica housing estate. According to the adopted resolution, the city is leaning towards the middle variant, which is not a classic tunnel and is expected to be covered in five places, which will alternate between four uncovered sections. “The exact extent of the deepening is still to be defined,” added Scheinherr. He added that Radlická street is also waiting for modifications, which should turn into a city boulevard after the construction of the radial.
Due to problems with permitting, the city councilors decided to modify the project at the end of 2019. “Today we approved the review outputs from the designers,” explained Scheinherr. He added that based on today’s decision, the final material will be created, which will include, among other things, the financial effects of the changes. That should be done next year and if the new council approves it, the city will instruct planners to begin modifications. At the same time, the zoning proceedings continue, and the city wants to solve any modifications in the form of changes to the zoning decision after its issuance.
