Lochkovský tunel, which, during the implementation, carries the working names of Tunnel Marie, Tunnel Lahovice or Tunnel Lochkov, is part of the southwest part of the D0 motorway - Prague circuit. This is a key work of construction 514 which was designed to overcome the height difference between the plateau at Lochkova and the valley at the confluence of Vltava with Berounka at Radotín. The tunnel represents one of the largest construction projects in the modern Prague infrastructure.

The tunnel is divided into two separate tunnel tubes. The north pipe that the driver is climbing is three-striped and reaches a greater length; The south pipe that goes down is two-way. The total length of the tunnel is 1,661 metres, the left tube being 1,620 metres. The longitudinal slope of the tunnel is 3 to 4 percent. Of the total length, a significant part of it was embossed - namely 1,252 metres for left tube and 1,302 metres for right tube. At Lahovice, only 20 metres (left tube) or 12 metres (right tube) were removed from the rock massif, while at Lochkova, the deep part of 347 metres for both tubes.

The construction was carried out by a new Austrian tunnelling method, and the stamping ended on 7 August 2008. In order to ensure the safety of persons, six tunnel connections were embossed between the tubes, and emergency bays are installed in the tubes themselves. The tunnel also includes a technological centre located in front of the portal and an exhalation and intake object Lochkov. At the bottom end of the tunnel, the Radotín bridge is immediately connected, where the Prague circuit crosses off-level with the D4 motorway.

The construction of the tunnel cost an estimated CZK 5.9 billion; the total cost of construction of the entire section 514 according to the contract and excluding VAT was approximately CZK 7.4 billion. The investor was the Directorate of Road and Motorways of the Czech Republic, with part of the costs paid by the Cohesion Fund of the European Union. The tunnel was opened on 20 September 2010 together with the entire southwest segment of the Prague circuit and has since been a necessary part of the transport infrastructure of Prague and its wider surroundings.

The Lochkov tunnel is part of the southwestern section of the Prague Ring, which is the D0 motorway. It belongs to the construction marked as section 514. During preparations, it carried the working names Tunel Marie, Tunel Lahovice, or Tunel Lochkov.

The tunnel connects the plateau near Lochkov with the valley near Radotín, where the Berounka River flows into the Vltava River. Along the way, it overcomes a significant elevation difference, with a longitudinal slope of three to four percent. The total length of the tunnel is 1,661 meters, with the left tube being slightly shorter at 1,620 meters.

The tunnel consists of two separate tunnel tubes. The northern, right tube runs uphill and has three traffic lanes. The southern, left tube runs downhill and has only two lanes. The majority of the tunnel was excavated, with 1,252 meters in the left tube and 1,302 meters in the right tube. The rest consists of cut sections. Near Lahovice, these measure 20 meters in the left tube and 12 meters in the right tube, and near Lochkov, they measure 347 meters in both tubes equally.

The tunnel was excavated using the new Austrian tunneling method, and excavation was completed on August 7, 2008. Six excavated cross-connections run between the tubes, allowing people to escape to the other tube in case of an emergency. The tubes also contain one to two emergency lay-bys. The tunnel is complemented by a technological center before the portal and the Lochkov ventilation and intake facility.

At the lower end of the tunnel, the Radotín Bridge connects directly to the portals. There, the Prague Ring crosses the D4 motorway at grade separation.

The costs for the tunnel itself are estimated at 5.9 billion crowns. The entire section 514 cost over 7.4 billion crowns without value-added tax, according to the contract. The investor was the Road and Motorway Directorate of the Czech Republic, with part of the costs covered by the European Union Cohesion Fund. The tunnel was opened on September 20, 2010, together with the entire southwestern section of the Prague Ring.

For kids

Imagine going back to the past... Until Praha was a small town surrounded by forests and meadows. And it was in these places where Lochkovský tunel is now located that there was an original wooden bridge.

How did it look here? Who lived here? What happened here? This is where people lived who used to feed on agriculture and trade. The bridge was the main link between the city and the village settlements on the other side of the Vltava River. The people who crossed over him took heed because the bridge was closely placed over a deep valley.

Seasonal recommendations

Spring V The Tunnel is reflected in the spring as a period of variable light and living colors that penetrate the glass walls into the interior. The morning sun creates fine shadows on the vault, while in the afternoon the water under the bridge is reflected in warmer shades. The surrounding nature begins to flourish - the first spring flowers appear in the surrounding area and the trees slowly dress up in green leaves, which gives the whole place a fresh and revived touch. The specific atmosphere is also the sounds of birds returning from warm landscapes, and a mild breeze that blows from the Vltava. It is recommended to visit the tunnel early in the morning or in the afternoon when there are fewer visitors. Clothes should be easy, but with the possibility of a blanket - spring weather can be unstable, with rapid temperature changes. The ideal time is between April and May, when nature is the most beautiful, but the crowds are not yet as abundant as in the summer months.

Summer Lochkovský tunel in the summer months offers a unique combination of cool interior and sunlight, which penetrates glass elements and creates a game of light on the water surface. Since the tunnel is protected from direct sunlight, inside there is a pleasant temperature, making it an ideal refuge from summer heat. The surrounding Lochkov is alive at this time - visitors enjoy walking along the Vltava, cyclists pass by and there are often small cultural events on the shore. The best time to visit is early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the biggest crowds coming here mainly in the main summer season. Light, breathable clothes, sunglasses and a hat are recommended, but also comfortable shoes, because the area around the tunnel is often busy and the sidewalks can be filled. The water under the bridge attracts you to rest on the shore, so bring a small blanket or picnic basket.

Autumn Autumn brings to Lochkov tunnel golden and red shades that are reflected in glass and water and create a magical atmosphere. When the sun sets behind the trees, the tunnel lights up artificial light, which emphasizes its architecture and creates a calm, almost intimate mood. The surrounding nature turns into a palette of colours - leaves on trees are colored in shades from yellow to brown, and the air is full of the smell of fallen leaves and moisture. At this time, the tunnel is often searched for by photographers looking for interesting prospects. It is recommended to visit it in the morning when light is the most beautiful, but also in the afternoon when crowds are shrinking. Clothes should be layered - autumn weather is variable, with cold wind wounds and occasional rain. Hot jackets, scarves and waterproof shoes are essential. In November, especially in advent time, there may be more people around the tunnel, but the tunnel itself remains a quiet place to rest.

Winter Winter Lochkovský tunel is a unique place where cold air meets outside and warm bridge interior. During snow days, crystalline patterns form on the glass walls, which together with artificial lighting create a mysterious and magical atmosphere. The surrounding landscape is often covered with snow, which gives the whole place a fairy tale. The water under the bridge is calm and reflects a darker winter sky, while ice crusts sometimes appear on the shore. In winter months, the tunnel is often sought for its warmth and shelter from freezing, and it is therefore advisable to visit it in the morning when it is the least visitors. Clothes should be warm and comfortable - recommended jackets with hood, gloves and warm shoes, because temperatures can be low, especially in the morning. In December, in advent time, there may be more people around the tunnel, but the tunnel itself remains a quiet and pleasant place to walk. Winter light, which penetrates glass elements, creates fine shadows in the interior and gives the place a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
