Prague - The construction company Porr has requested an extension for the completion deadline of this year's repairs to the Barrandov Bridge from the city council and the Technical Administration of Communications (TSK). TSK disagrees with the extension of the deadline. If this occurs, it will impose penalties according to the contract. TSK spokesperson Barbora Lišková said this to ČTK today. The reconstruction began on May 16 of this year. Workers first demolished the ramp from Strakonická Street, planed the roadway, and removed the cornices, railings, and insulation. The work was originally scheduled to end on September 2, but due to necessary project modifications, the deadline was pushed back by 27 days. ČTK is seeking a statement from the builder.

"On September 26 in the evening, TSK received a proposal for an adjusted work schedule for the Barrandov Bridge. Porr announced a shift in the completion of the work, specifically the traffic restrictions on the Barrandov Bridge to October 22, 2022. TSK fundamentally disagrees with this deadline shift and rejects it," said Lišková.

According to the agreement between TSK, the city, and the builder, this year's repairs were supposed to finish on Thursday. If this does not happen, then starting Friday, September 30, TSK will impose compensation for the failure to meet the deadline according to the terms of the contract, according to the spokesperson. According to earlier statements from the city leadership, the penalty for the first day of delay is five million crowns.

The Barrandov Bridge, built in 1983, is part of the city ring road and has never been repaired before. It sees over 140,000 vehicles daily, making it the busiest road in Prague. The reconstruction of the structure is spread over several years and will only last part of the year each time. The total cost of the work over the entire period will amount to 594.5 million crowns.
