State wants to invest 39 billion crowns in Czech railways this year

One of Czechia's key railway junctions for both passenger and freight transport is about to undergo a major renovation that will span several years. Extensive work in Česká Třebová is scheduled to begin in the coming weeks. A similar renovation is also planned for the Hradec Králové railway station this year. The government has allocated 39 billion crowns for railway infrastructure investments in 2025, which includes the development of the initial sections of the "fast connections" network.

The Česká Třebová station is one of the largest rail yards in Europe, with several hundred trains passing through daily, and freight containers being transshipped here. The main corridors to Prague, Brno, and Olomouc also pass through this station.

A total of 160 billion CZK is allocated for transportation this year, with the majority directed towards the motorway network, which the government aims to complete by 2033. In the coming years, however, a greater share of public funds will be focused on rail transport.
