The subject of the contract is the complete construction of “Modernization of the Přerov – Olomouc Rail Route Segment, Part 2” which belongs among the group of construction projects implemented as a part of the modernization and optimization of the network of selected corridors of Czech railways. From the point of view of international passenger and freight transport, this rail route segment is a connecting rail of Transit Rail Corridor II (Austria-Břeclav-Přerov-Ostrava -Petrovice-Poland), linking it to Transit Rail Corridor I (FRD-Děčín-Prague-Česká Třebová-Brno-Břeclav-Austria). The connecting rail also makes up a part of the East-West connection, i.e. of Transit Rail Corridor III. The construction was implemented with the aim of putting the Přerov – Olomouc double-tracked rail route segment into a structural & technical and operational condition that would comply with the set parameters, i.e. an increase in the track speed up to 160 km/h for traditional train units as well as for units with tilting wagon bodies, the achievement of the D4 – UIC track load class – the axial load of 225 kN and the traffic clearance corresponding to the UIC GC clearance limit, including the bridge structures and culverts in the whole rail route segment.

The construction had a linear character and its major part was carried out on the existing railway bed. The construction works were carried out on a closed off rail, with concurrent single-track two-way operation on the track that was not closed off. The construction starts at the 199.800 km mark and ends at the 205.200 km mark according to the new localization by kilometre spacing. The subject of the construction project was the redevelopment of the railway bed, reconstruction of the track superstructure, including the construction of platforms according to the configuration, including islands, with a grade separated access that concurrently secures safe barrier-free access to the island platform (the access way in the Grygov, Brodek u Přerova railway stations is secured by means of lifts). Shelters for passengers will be constructed on the platforms. The existing railway bridge structures (bridges, culverts) have also been reconstructed. The safety and communication facilities, heavy current devices and overhead contact lines, including grounding, have been modernized; anti-noise measures have been implemented and railway equipment installed.
