TV 7 –  The first PPP project in the Czech Republic:

The D4 motorway from Příbram to Mirotice

Date : 5 October 2023, 8:00–16:00 EN, 10:00-18:00 FR, ES

              D4 motorway

              Construction of the D4 motorway is creating a second major transport route from Prague to South Bohemia. The Prague – Skalka section was originally built as an expressway more than 30 years ago. A short section continuing from there was completed in 2017, and a further missing 32 km section is now being constructed as a PPP. This has been divided up into five construction projects, on which work commenced in 2021, with the entire section scheduled for simultaneous completion at the end of 2024. At its southern end it will connect with the Mirotice – Třebkov section already completed in 2010.

The project won the prestigious prize for Best European PPP Project of 2021 in the annual awards of the renowned publication Project Finance International (PFI).
