Construction work is expected to commence this month.

Strabag CEO Thomas Birtel said: “As this section of the line includes two important structures, the Elbe bridge and the Děčín Tunnel, the work presents an interesting challenge from a technical point of view.”

The 256m-long bridge over the Elbe River, which was constructed in 1916, requires its original steel supports to be swapped.

The 400m long Děčín tunnel will also be renewed as part of the project.
