Czechia – Road construction works – I/45 Nové Heřminovy - Zátor, I. etapa

The subject of the construction is the implementation of Stage I of the I/45 road bypass, which is a Class I road approximately 5.0 km in length, category S 11.5/90, connected at both ends to the existing I/45 road. The I/45 road bypass in the section between Nové Heřminovy and the municipality of Zátor is a triggered investment due to the proposal for flood protection measures on the Horní Opava and the Nové Heřminovy Water Reservoir. The existing road will be interrupted after the completion of the water reservoir and will be located in the flooded area. For this reason, it is necessary to relocate the I/45 road above the level of the Nové Heřminovy reservoir floodplain, thus the construction of the I/45 road addresses the relocation of the existing I/45 road outside the floodplain of the Nové Heřminovy Water Reservoir. Along the route of the I/45 road bypass, a roundabout is proposed in the municipality of Nové Heřminovy (connection to road III/4581 towards Milotice and local roads), further a level crossing with road III/4583 (towards Čaková), a roundabout in Loučky u Zátoru (connection of the existing road I/45 and local roads) and a roundabout in the municipality of Zátor (connection to road III/4585 towards Brantice resp. III/45910 towards Lichnov and local roads). Along the route of the I/45 road bypass, several bridge structures will be built and retaining walls will be built in places with deep cuts. In conjunction with the right-bank service road, retaining walls are proposed. In places where the proposed I/45 road passes through an area with buildings designated for permanent residence, noise barriers are proposed. The construction will also include the adjustment and connection of lower-class roads that will be affected by the construction of the I/45 road. The work will be carried out in accordance with the project documentation prepared by the consortium “Morava – RD PP for medium-sized contracts BIM 2020”, lead partner SHB a.s., IČO 25324365.
