Currently a new pedestrian and cycling connection is being completed in the northeast of Prague. The municipal district of Prague-Čakovice is finishing a kilometer of paths that connect to the new footbridge over the railway tracks.
The „u Havraňáku“ path project, utilizing a footbridge and 1000 meters of asphalt paths, connects several walkways for pedestrians and cyclists. This allows for easier and faster non-motorized movement between the neighborhoods of Čakovice, Miškovice, Kbely, and Letňany, including the metro station. In the future, the footbridge is intended to be part of the overarching cycling route A4, connecting Prague and the Central Bohemian Region, ultimately extending to Brandýs nad Labem.
The implementation began on April 11, with the current finishing works underway. The city of Prague provided 40 million for the realization. The grant in the previous election term was supported by Adam Scheinherr (Praha sobě), the former deputy for transportation.
The surface of the paths is asphalt, and the rideable layer of the footbridge consists of a resin-based material with added small stones.
As mentioned by the cycling coordinator of Prague 19, Radek Čermák, a bridge existed in this location before but was removed during the relocation of the railway during World War II. With regard to the connecting paths, it involves the restoration of extinct field roads. „People used to dangerously cross the tracks there. 80 years of waiting is quite a long time,“ he adds.
An additional 32.5 million was obtained from the city by Prague-Kbely. They are currently constructing the section that connects to its territory.
