Hochtief to extend Prague Metro

German builder Hochtief as member of a joint venture has been awarded the contract to extend Prague's metro: The subsidiaries Hochtief Construction and Hochtief CZ take on the project with a total volume of approximately EUR 500 million together with a partner. The Hochtief share amounts to roughly EUR 190 million. Construction will start in a few weeks from now and be completed in 2014.

As part of the construction contract, the Czech capital's metro line A to the airport will be extended by a total of 6.2 kilometers. To this end, the Hochtief companies will carry out drill-and-blast tunneling works and build two of the four underground stations. In addition, they will provide the adjoining above-ground infrastructure such as a bus terminal and the exterior facilities.
