D49 motorway (Czech: Dálnice D49), formerly Expressway R49 (Czech: Rychlostní silnice R49) is an motorway under construction in the Czech Republic. When completed, it will connect D1 highway to the Slovakia's D1 highway via the R6 expressway. It is supposed to replace the planned route of the D1 highway to Slovakia, which original direction to Púchov (Slovakia) was diverted and now leads to Ostrava.
History
[edit]Construction began in 2008, but was suspended in 2010 at first due to a lack of funding, but ultimately due to objections and lawsuits from environmental activists. In the fall of 2019, ŘSD planned to resume construction of the Hulín to Fryšták section in 2020,[1] with commissioning planned for 2024; other sections would follow later.
Construction of the first section resumed at the end of 2021. In 2024, a 9.8 km long section between Hulín and Holešov was opened.[2]
Future plans
[edit]The Holešov – Fryšták section is in construction, and planned for opening in 2025.[2]
Further sections, between Fryšták and Vizovice (namely 4902 and 4903) are planned for 2032, 2033, 2034 and 2036.[3][4][5][6] An additional 24.0 kilometres (14.9 mi) of motorway will be built.
The planned section of the D49 motorway between Vizovice and the state border, which was previously prepared as a three-lane directionally undivided road, was reclassified as an I/49 road in autumn 2023[citation needed]. In the future, that section will be a modernisation of the existing road. Construction is planned after 2030[citation needed].
