Prague’s Masaryk Station is moving into a critical stage of its long-term reconstruction, with major work now shifting to the central part of the rail hub.

The next phase will focus on rebuilding existing tracks and platforms, marking a step change in the scale of construction.

To allow work to proceed faster, train services from Kladno and Kralupy nad Vltavou will be redirected.

From June until the end of the year, these lines will terminate at the newly built station in Bubny. Connections from Libeň and Vysočany will continue to operate without restrictions.

Until now, construction has largely focused on building new platforms designed to serve future connections to Václav Havel Airport and the Kladno region.

In the coming days, tracks and platforms near Hybernská Street will be removed to make space for archaeological research, where remains of Prague’s historic fortifications are expected to be examined.

The temporary closure of routes linked to the Negrelli Viaduct is intended to speed up the overall timeline. Officials expect the full reconstruction of one of the city’s key railway stations to be completed by the end of next year.

Once finished, Masaryk Station will offer increased capacity and modern facilities. Plans include newly built platforms and an elevated structure above them that will connect the station with nearby streets. This upper level is also expected to serve as a public space in the city center.

The project is part of the wider Prague–Airport–Kladno rail upgrade, which consists of eleven stages.

Several sections have already been completed, including the reconstruction of the Negrelli Viaduct, the new station at Bubny, and a stop near the Exhibition Grounds. Train services are already running between Kladno-Ostrovec and Kladno, where a new station building is under construction.

Work also began this spring on the modernization of the line between Prague-Ruzyně and Kladno. At fifteen kilometers, it is the longest segment of the entire project.

Further details on upcoming stages are available on the official project website.
