Line D (Czech: Linka D) is a proposed line of the Prague Metro, serving Prague 4 and Prague 12 in the south of the Czech capital. The first part of the chronologically fourth (blue) line in the system is planned to be built in 2019–2023.
History
Construction 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] In 2018 the costs were estimated as 43 billion CZK; in 2020 73 billion CZK. 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 is planned to begin in 2021 and finish in 2023.[4] Completion of Pankrác – Písnice is planned for 2029.[4] In addition to the phase from Pankrác to Písnice, second phase of Line D will also lead from Pankrác to Náměstí Míru.[6]
