Prague to Start Design of Metro Line D from Pankrác to Náměstí Míru

Prague is set to begin designing the D metro line from Pankrác to Náměstí Míru, with an architectural competition planned for two key stations.

Meanwhile, the city will also launch a feasibility study for the final segment extending from Náměstí Míru to Náměstí Republiky.

According to the current timeline, construction of the Náměstí Míru segment could begin in 2036. The city has already started work on the initial section of Metro D between Pankrác and Písnice.

Since 2022, Prague’s transport company has been constructing the first segment of Metro D from Pankrác to Olbrachtova. However, delays have stalled the next phase between Olbrachtova and Nové Dvory, largely due to legal challenges at the Czech Competition Authority.

These delays have also impacted the subsequent section between Nové Dvory and Depo Písnice.

Originally, the full route from Pankrác to Písnice was set for completion by 2029, but ongoing disputes have pushed the expected opening to 2031. Following this, the city will move forward with project preparations for the Pankrác–Náměstí Míru segment.

By the end of the year, Prague plans to launch architectural competitions for the design of Náměstí Bratří Synků and Náměstí Míru stations and begin a feasibility study for the final extension to Náměstí Republiky.

City Plans to Speed Up Other Infrastructure Projects

Beyond Metro D, the Prague City Council has also tasked officials with exploring ways to accelerate construction of the Prague Ring Road.

The goal is to begin surface-level work by 2027, even before the city receives the final building permit. Under the current schedule, construction is expected to start in 2030.

Additionally, the city is considering whether construction of the Hloubětín Tunnel could begin as early as next year. The tunnel aims to divert traffic from Kbelská Street, a busy roadway in northeast Prague.
