AFRY country manager for the Czech Republic and Slovakia Ivo Šimek said: “The repeated success confirms that the combination of a partnership approach, open communication and ESG principles that AFRY has been applying in the Czech Republic is the right direction to take.” 

The Vysočina I section forms a part of the Prague-Brno HSR corridor, which is expected to become one of the busiest high-speed railways in the country.

Správa železnic stated that the Prague-Brno HSR corridor would reduce travel time between the country’s two largest cities to less than 60 minutes.

This section running for 33km is a new double-track high-speed railway with train speed to be at a maximum of 320 km/hour.

The awarded assignment also features the design of several connections to the conventional railway network and modifications of the related road infrastructure.
