Prague - The City Hall of Prague 11 demands the expedited completion of the Prague Ring Road between the D1 highway and the Hradec Králové D11 highway. At today's meeting, the representatives of Prague 11 reached this resolution. The representatives also supported, as one of the options, the currently proposed route marked number 511 from D1 to Běchovice. The representatives instructed Mayor Jiří Štyler (HPP 11) to inform the Mayor of Prague, the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Transport about the resolution. Prague 11 is primarily composed of the cadastral areas of Chodov and Háje.

The representatives agreed that the ring road needs to be completed. However, during the discussion, they debated the wording of the resolution - whether to support the completion along the currently proposed route designated as 511, or whether to suggest the discussion of other route alternatives. These would subsequently need to undergo assessment as part of the EIA process, which evaluates the impact of the construction on the environment.

Route 511 passes through the territory of the capital city across the cadastres of the municipalities of Běchovice, Dubeč, Uhříněves, Královice, Nedvězí, and Kolovraty. In the territory of the Central Bohemian Region, it passes through the cadastres of Říčany and Nupaky.

"In the affected areas, I have conducted several signature campaigns, so I know the opinions of the people affected. In what form this will be, I don't know, but it is necessary to relieve Prague,” said representative Petr Sýkora (JMD).

Representative Zdeněk Kvítek (HPP 11) stated that everyone in Prague 11 wishes for the completion, but the completion should go through the EIA process. The same opinion was held by Kateřina Zelenková (HPP 11), who noted that it is not possible for the ring road to relieve one area while worsening life elsewhere. She cited Běchovice as an example.

The approximately eighty-kilometer construction of the road ring around Prague is divided into 11 sections, seven of which are in operation. The missing part is the contested section between Ruzyně, Suchdol, and Běchovice, and another between Běchovice and the D1 highway. The total costs for the construction are expected to exceed 106 billion crowns.
