History
editConstruction of Line D connecting Náměstí Míru with Nové Dvory area was previously intended to start in 2010.[1] An alternative was proposed in 2012, without building a transfer station at Pankrác, and instead sharing Line C between Nádraží Holešovice and Pankrác.[2] The construction of the line was approved by the city of Prague in 2013, and was initially planned to be built between 2017 and 2022. The project involves 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) of track with 10 stations, connecting Náměstí Míru and Depo Písnice.[3] The cost was initially estimated at least at 25 billion CZK,[3] in 2018 the cost increased to 43 billion CZK and in 2020 to 73 billion CZK.[4] In July 2015, it was decided that the line will be driverless.[5]
Construction work on the Pankrác – Olbrachtova section began in 2021 and is planned to finish in 2023.[4] Opening of Pankrác – Písnice part is planned for 2031.[4] In addition to the phase from Pankrác to Písnice, second phase of Line D will also lead from Pankrác to Náměstí Míru.[6]
