D46 motorway (Czech Republic)
Motorway in the Czech Republic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
D46 motorway (Czech: Dálnice D46) is a motorway in eastern Czech Republic, which runs from Vyškov via Prostějov to Olomouc where it ends and connects to the national road network.
In the time-based toll system, the D46 motorway is tolled along its entire length, i.e. from the Vyškov-východ off-ramp (exit 1) to the end of the motorway after the Slavonín off-ramp (exit 37).[1]
History
The construction of 38 km of the D46 began in 1972,[2] with the first section finished in 1974.[3] It was not until 1992 that the full length of the projected motorway could be driven over. Originally, the D46 was actually an expressway. It was officially turned into a motorway in December 2015. Currently, it is still used as an alternative to the D1 motorway.[3] Capacity-wise, however, the narrow S 20.5/100 category road is no longer sufficient[according to whom?].
Future modernizations
The D46 motorway is completed in its entire length according to the current motorway network concept. Therefore, all upcoming projects concern only construction modifications of already completed sections.
A rest area, MÚK Držovice is planned for 2030.[4]
