Prague gets ball rolling on additional section of “D” Metro line

Prague council has instructed the Prague Institute of Planning and Development to change the city’s territorial plan to allow for the building of a further section of a planned new “D” Metro line. The addition to the underground rail network should run northeast from Náměstí Míru to Žižkov and then on to Vysočany. However, it is not yet clear what precise route it will follow or where it will have stations.

The first part of the D line should run from Písnice in the south of the city to Pankrác, which should later be connected to Náměstí Míru. Discussions about constructing a fourth Metro line began in the 1980s.
