B.5.2 TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

ACCESS ROADS AND ROAD TRAFFIC

ARRIVALS

The access to the region, area and the site of the property is relatively good.

North of the town of Žatec there is the D7 motorway from Prague via Slaný and Louny towards Chomutov and then
to the border with Germany. The access road to the motorway is about 8 km long and goes via the village of Žiželice.
The motorway under the international code I/7 will become an important connection between Chemnitz in Saxony and
Prague and will significantly improve and accelerates the access from western Europe.

Another important communication is Road 27, Class I, from Plzeň via Žatec to Most, which crosses the D7 motorway not
far from the Triangle Industrial Area. This communication hub is mainly used by transit vehicles which consequently
has an impact on the traffic load in the Žatec outskirts, far from the property site.

This road is also linked to other important local communications such as Road 225, Class II from Kadaň via Žatec
to Louny and Road 227, Class II connecting Žatec with Rakovník.

The Class I and Class II roads are not in the ownership of the town as they are owned by the state and Ústecký Region,
respectively. Žatec administers 65 km of Class III and Class IV roads in total and 130 km of pavements. Some roads are
in need of resurfacing and restoration of the lines of trees along them.

Component part 01
In Stekník farm machinery travels across the village square and the road nearby the chateau. The road gets dirty and
there is a danger of collision with pedestrians. With respect to the future revitalisation of the village square in Stekník
it would be desirable to restrict the flow of cars and commercial vehicles through this area and consider an alternative
access road for the visitors’ vehicles to the chateau and the envisaged visitor centre. It would help to have a parallel
road allowing access of farm machinery to the back entrance of the hop growing facility.
Component part 02 81
The existing network of streets in the historic town centre has not changed and remains stable. Some of them require
repair and resurfacing.

RESUME
COMPONENT PART 01 AND 02
Finalising of the Comprehensive Transport Design Concept.

Installation of navigation signs at the motorways and Class I roads – project design and development.

COMPONENT PART 01
Road 225 connecting the two components of the nominated property is in the need of resurfacing and the lines of trees require
restoration.
An alternative access road to the Stekník Chateau must be considered.

The farm machinery must be diverted from the area close to the chateau and the Stekník village square.
COMPONENT PART 02

Road 225 at the southern perimeter of Component 02 requires resurfacing.

Resurfacing of some streets in the historic town centre shall be finished.
Completion of the appearance of the roundabouts and entry points to the town – system of navigation to be added.
