Short description
The tram line was in a state of serious wear and tear. Extent of modifications: from Balabenka Crossroads including branching (1 x 6 crossings) – connected to the point crossing from Palmovka and to the reconstructed point crossings from direction Českomoravská. The end of the reconstructed section was behind the crossing with Na Břehu Street where a short section was constructed from large panels and connected to existing situation behind the Na Břehu Street. The tram line reconstruction included platform lighting, draining of the line body, repair of insulation on the Rokytka brook bridging and road marking. An automated irrigation of the grass-cover of the tram line body was implemented for the first time in Prague. The repair of the large-area tram line panels between Na Břehu Street and OSN was performed by DP under the same traffic lockout. The reconstruction of roads and adjacent pavements of Sokolovská Street in the section Balabenka-Na Břehu for the investor TSK Praha was performed under the same traffic lockout.

Detailed desciption
Tram line: The existing construction of the tram line from large panels was replaced with a grass covered construction, the platforms are paved with concrete tiles, crossovers have asphalt pavements. Platform length was increased, the line body was extended by waiting area on crosswalks. An automated irrigation system with push-out irrigators was implemented here for the first time in Prague. Driveways, pavements: The construction includes a solution for the southern and northern part of Sokolovská Street (both roadways) with adjacent pavements and a connection to side streets in the section Balabenka – Na Břehu Street. The extent of driveway and pavement repair corresponds to the parallel reconstruction of the tram line. The beginning of the road reconstruction is behind Balabenka crossing (from the center) and the end is behind the crossing with Na Břehu Street. Instead of current traffic lanes along pavements, driveways were required to include parking lanes in the maximum possible extent with special parking places for delivery vehicles. Along the tramway body, one traffic lane is planned in each direction. The existing paved roads will be replaced with a new driveway with upper asphalt layer, the bearing layers will be completely replaced and the plane area will be redeveloped. The existing sections with asphalt surface at the beginning and at the end of the reconstructed area will be cut off and replaced with new binding and abrasive layers, pavements will be made new and paved with concrete tiles including lateral park curbs. In the whole extent of the reconstructed driveways, new horizontal and vertical road marking will be renewed and completed. Temporary traffic marking and modifications of traffic lights on bypass routes will regulate traffic during the construction work. Bridge insulation will be repaired on the bridge over Rokytka. After the reconstruction is completed, the new arrangement of the traffic (parking) and of the road cross-profile will comply with current needs and new regulations. In order to ease the traffic, 3 retardant sills will be installed. Section length: 1.2 km
The documentation for the decision on zoning approval includes a proposed extension of the existing tram line Hlubočepy-Sídliště Barrandov that was opened in November 2003. The proposed extension connects to the existing stop Sídliště Barrandov and continues in the south-western direction on the axis of the planned street area. It will have a length of approximately 1.5 km and include a total of 3 stops with provisory names Kaskády, Holyně and Slivenec. The extension is ended with a new tramway loop Slivenec between Holyně and Slivenec on the cadastral area of Slivenec, north of K Barrandovu Street next to an agricultural premises. The new track runs mostly outside the existing built-up area over development areas behind the current end of the Barrandov housing estate. Similar to the existing line, the extended tram line will be the backbone of the mass transportation system in this area. In the first phase (after putting into operation), it will serve to inhabitants in the existing living area at the end of the Barrandov housing estate (Kaskády housing estate), in Holyně and in Slivence. In the following phase (after the completion of hte development areas) also for the new housing estate. The follow-up bus transportation will provide transportation services on a wider surrounding area. The main benefit of the tram line construction is enhance quality of transportation services on the territory. The tram line construction includes only such buildings and operating units that are necessary for the tram line operation, usually provided by DP a. s. as investor. Further, it includes all indispensable related shifts and bypasses of roads and underground utility lines.. The extent of the construction is evident from the list of constructional and operational units and their functional description. Electricity for the tramway line is planned to be supplied from the Barrandov converter station. However, the construction does not include the final road along the tramway body and in the future built-up area, the main water pipes and underground utility services for the future housing estate and the built-up area. It is expected that in the course of further preparation, investors and designers of the roads and engineering services will be appointed and preparatory work will start. After that, the tram line construction can be mutually coordinated including solution of the situation during putting into operation of the track and roads. More...
