VINCI Construction has recently secured two significant infrastructure contracts from the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Transport, totaling €417 million. The projects include the construction of a new section of Prague's ring road and the modernization of Central Europe's largest freight station in Česká Třebová. Both projects are set to commence in Q1 2025, with completion dates spanning until 2032. These initiatives underscore VINCI's growing influence in the region and its commitment to enhancing transportation infrastructure while minimizing environmental impact.

The first project aims to alleviate traffic congestion in Prague by constructing a 12.6km stretch of the ring road, featuring bridges, tunnels, and pedestrian facilities. The second project focuses on upgrading the rail hub in Česká Třebová, involving the installation of advanced train control systems and refurbishment of existing tracks. VINCI's presence in the Czech Republic continues to expand, with over €1 billion in revenue generated in 2023, further solidifying its role in improving daily life and mobility across the country.

Enhancing Mobility: New Ring Road Section for Prague

The development of a new 12.6km segment of the ring road east of Prague is set to significantly reduce traffic congestion within the city. This ambitious project, a collaboration between VINCI Construction subsidiaries and PORR, will introduce numerous structures including bridges, tunnels, and crossings, along with provisions for pedestrians and cyclists. Scheduled to begin in early 2025, this initiative is expected to transform the capital's traffic flow and enhance overall mobility.

This €385 million venture will not only address the pressing issue of through-traffic but also improve safety and accessibility. The inclusion of 19 bridges, two tunnels, four level crossings, and noise barriers demonstrates the comprehensive approach taken to ensure that the new infrastructure meets the needs of all road users. By integrating these elements, the project aims to create a more efficient and sustainable transport network, contributing to the broader goal of reducing urban congestion and enhancing quality of life for residents.

Modernizing Rail Infrastructure in Česká Třebová

In Bohemia’s Česká Třebová, VINCI Construction subsidiary Eurovia CZ leads a consortium dedicated to modernizing the region's largest freight station. This extensive renovation project, valued at €663 million, will upgrade the rail hub to meet contemporary standards. Starting in early 2025, the work will continue until 2032, focusing on the installation of advanced train control systems and the refurbishment of existing tracks.

The modernization effort includes the implementation of the European Train Control System (ETCS), which will enhance operational efficiency and safety. Additionally, materials will be transported by rail to minimize the environmental footprint. This project underscores VINCI's commitment to sustainable practices and technological advancement in the transportation sector. By improving the rail hub, VINCI aims to bolster Central Europe's logistics capabilities, facilitating smoother and more reliable freight operations. The long-term benefits of this investment will contribute to economic growth and improved connectivity in the region.
