Key highway D1 connecting Czechia with Poland reopened after floods

The flooded section of the D1 highway near Bohumín, leading to the Polish border, was partially reopened on Monday morning just after 8 a.m. Traffic is now moving in both directions in the left lane, as confirmed by Moravian-Silesian Governor Josef Bělica after a meeting of the regional crisis team. Although the highway is operational, traffic is still limited, with two-way movement restricted to the left lane. Radek Mátl, head of the Road and Motorway Directorate (ŘSD), stated that speed is reduced throughout the affected section. After intensive work over the weekend, the team managed to halt the water flow and prepare the lane for reopening, with speed limited to 60 km/h over a two-kilometer stretch.
