Budimex wins the second contract on the I/43 route in the Czech Republic. The company will build a slow lane near the town of Závist

Budimex has won another contract as part of the extension of the I/43 road, connecting Brno via Svitavy and Lanškroun with the Polish border.  Near the municipality of Závist in the Blansko district, the construction company will widen a section of almost one kilometre, adding a lane of688 meters long, will build a new engineering facility over the local road and improve pedestrian and cyclist roads in the municipality

Budimex has signed a contract with the Czech Road and Motorway Authority (ŘSD) for the construction of a slow lane on the I/43 road near the town of Závist in the Blansko district in the Czech Republic.  The project is located near the reconstruction of the I/43 road near Černá Hora – a contract that Budimex also won a few days ago

” The acquisition of another, neighbouring contract on the I/43 route confirms our ability to consistently deliver high-quality, competitive solutions on the Czech market

Budimex won the tender, submitting a bid of CZK 143.7 million excluding VAT, i.e. about seven percent below the estimated value of the works. 

Slow lane and safer connections in the municipality

The section of the I/43 road to be modernized is about 909 meters long.  The most serious traffic problem is the existing driveway outside the municipality of Závist, where the slope of the road reaches up to 7.15%.  The lane for slow vehicles in the direction of Svitava will be 688 meters long and will start about 150 meters behind the new bridge.  The project will also include the construction of a retaining wall with a length of 282 meters, which will help minimize the impact of the investment on the surrounding areas. 

Access to the Závist commune will also undergo significant changes.  The existing intersection between the local road and the I/43 road will be removed.  It will be replaced by a two-level crossing, including a new facility on the I/43 road about 12 meters long. 

– The project will not only improve the flow of traffic on the main route, but also allow for the creation of a safe connection between the two parts of Závist

The contractor will also move the bus stop located on the right side of the road towards Svitava further north and connect it with the municipality with a new pavement.  The project also includes the construction of a bicycle path along the I/43 road, the modernization of the drainage system and the construction of new forest roads

Budimex strengthens its position on the Czech market

In addition to two contracts for the extension of the I/43 road, Budimex is currently responsible for the construction of a 7.6-kilometre section of the D35 motorway between Džbánov and Litomyšl, as well as a dry flood reservoir on the Krounka River in Kutřín in the Chrudim district. 

” We are very pleased that the number of our contracts in the Czech Republic is gradually increasing.  At the same time, we are strengthening our Czech team, developing cooperation with local partners and building the operational capacity necessary for the implementation of further projects.  Our ambitions on the Czech market are long-term and we believe that we will continue to significantly expand our presence in the coming years– sums up Krzysztof Sokołowski, director of BudimeKSfor the Czech Republic and Slovakia
