Rehabilitation of the Road Network in Vysočina in 2006
In July 2006, the Vysočina Region closed a deal with the European Investment Bank for a loan in the amount of CZK 500 million to finance repairs on grade II and III roads. In the years 2006–2007, the Region invested a minimum of CZK one billion (of that, 500 million of its own resources) into the roads in its jurisdiction. The assumption is that, in the framework of the loan, a total of 83 sections of roads measuring a total of about 600 kilometers will be repaired and reconstructed.
In 2006, the Region launched the first phase in these repairs by means of individual Regional Road Management and Maintenance organizations. It has been possible continuously to fulfill the practical objective of the project of rehabilitating the Region’s roads. Thus far, 24 sections of roads have been completed out of the 42 sections planned under the project. By February 2007, the Region paid more than CZK 310 million, having drawn down CZK 150 million of the first portion of the EIB loan. In total, with these funds, the Region was able to repair 126 kilometers of roads.
