Modernisation of Prague's Masaryk station given go-ahead

The Railway Administration has received a valid building permit for the renovation of Masaryk Railway Station in Prague and construction work can now go ahead, a spokesperson for the organisation announced on Wednesday. Once a contractor has been found, construction should begin sometime during this year.

Plans include the existing number of tracks being expanded from seven to nine, the construction of a new platform, and a direct access point to transfer to metro line B. All platforms, tracks, technology, traction lines and the power supply will undergo reconstruction and barrier-free access will be created with six wheelchair-accessible platforms.

The project is slated for completion in 2026.
