Metro extension towards airport to commence next year

A new extension to the Prague metro, which will take trains all the way to the city’s airport should begin construction late next year. The Prague Transport Authority announced the proposals on Monday, detailing total costs of around 40 billion crowns. The “A” metro line will be extended in several stages, the first of which is expected to be complete by 2014. However, the metro is not expected to reach the airport until 2018. The first extension is being financed with the help of EU development grants.
