Part of České Budějovice Bypass Finished
The South Bohemian metropolis is chronically overloaded with transit traffic, so any new road that has the potential to relieve České Budějovice, is only welcomed. This is also true of the so-called South Tangent (road II/143), which connects the existing I/3 road with the construction of the city section of the D3 motorway. The nearly three-kilometre-long link, whose investor is the South Bohemia Region, is being completed these days by a consortium of Colas CZ and FIRESTA-Fišer.

Third Lane for Mladá Boleslav Motorway
In the places where it passes Mladá Boleslav, the D10 motorway is one of the busiest traffic arteries in the Czech Republic. Over 40,000 cars pass through the area each day. Traffic is also getting heavier due to drivers who need to pass Prague from exit 46 and continue on the I/16 road to Sobotka. They have had to take the through lane, to only turn off from it again after about one kilometre at exit 44 B.

While, for example, women dominate among medical staff, the opposite is true on construction sites. According to data from the Ministry of Industry, there is only one woman among ten employees in the construction sector on average. As far as the self-employed are concerned, the share of women in construction activities even falls to several percent.
