Prague City Council today selected the contractor for the construction of Dvorecký Bridge that will connect Prague 4 and Prague 5. The new bridge will be built by the company TBR Firesta STRABAG - Dvorecký most. Out of five bidders, the winning consortium offered the best terms as regards the price, completion date, and the warranty period duration, with a price of CZK 1,074,965,748 excluding VAT and construction time of 810 days. The contractor was selected in accordance with the applicable laws of the Czech Republic.

Dvorecký bridge will span Vltava River from Podolí to Zlíchov, connecting Prague 4 and Prague 5. The aim is to improve connection between the banks in the southern part of the city, primarily for public transport, pedestrians, and cyclists. The new bridge is needed because of a lacking tram, pedestrian and cycling connection between Smíchov and Podolí districts on opposite banks of river Vltava. The construction adheres to Prague’s zoning plan.
