As part of the modernization of the Vysočany – Horní Počernice railway line, two underpasses for pedestrians and cyclists have been built, enabling safer movement along Kbelská. The completion of connections is yet to follow.
Originally, there were only two narrow sidewalks under the bridge, where cycling was not allowed. The two new underpasses are located on both sides of the four-lane road Kbelská. The underpasses have a width of 3 meters and a smooth asphalt surface measuring a total of 200 meters. The western underpass currently serves the A430 cycling route along Kbelská, although legal passage to Kolbenova is not yet secured. South of the underpasses, cyclists still encounter a sign saying „cyclist, lead the bike“ for a distance of 100 meters. The eastern underpass has a sidewalk without permitted bike entry on both sides.
On the northern side of the railway line, both underpasses have a prepared „branch“ for the future northeast cycle highway A9. This section will lead alongside the railway line, and a bridge will span Kbelská. The northeast cycle highway is still a vision for the future.
