After completion, it will become an alternative route to motorway D1 between Prague and Olomouc and Ostrava. The first segment was opened in the 1970s. As of 2023[update], 89 km of full motorway are in operation in two segments.[2]
History
editOriginally, the D35 motorway from Hradec Králové to Lipník nad Bečvou was planned. However, in 1987, it was decided to build the R35 expressway instead of the motorway and to extend its route to Liberec. The rest of the R35 expressway is classified as a Class I road for motor vehicles.
Currently, the section of the D35 motorway Mohelnice - Olomouc - Lipník nad Bečvou is in operation with a break near Křelov near Olomouc. A section of the former R35 Liberec - Turnov expressway is also in operation, but it has not been classified as a motorway and since 1 January 2016 has been an I/35 motorway.
On 27 November 2009, the section Sedlice - Opatovice nad Labem was put into operation with a length of approximately 3.5 km. The three-storey Opatovice interchange is one of the largest intersections in the Czech Republic. Around Hradec Králové, the D35 runs in parallel with the D11 motorway (between the Sedlice interchange and the Plotiště interchange), with the last of the interchange sections completed in December 2021.
In December 2021, the Opatovice nad Labem - Časy section of the motorway was put into operation. This, together with the opening of other sections of the D11 motorway, enabled the transfer of transit from Svitavy in the direction of Prague, Jičín and Jaroměř outside Hradec Králové. The connecting section to Ostrov was opened a year later, in December 2022.
