At the beginning of March 2022, the Czecha Ministry of Transport rejected the appeal of opponents to the construction of Metro line D in Prague. They also confirmed that the Prague Public Transit Company (DPP - Dopravní Podnik hl. m. Prahy AS) and Prague City Hall followed proper procedures in choosing construction contractors for the Prague metro line D Pankrác - Nové Dvory section. On the 24/03/2022 DPP received a valid building permit for the construction of metro line D in the section Pankrác - Nové Dvory, including a valid felling permit in the section Pankrác - Olbrachtova. After decades of preparatory work DPP can now start the construction of the first section of metro line D. 

Obtaining a valid building permit also enabled DPP to announce a public contract for the construction contractor and the supplier of monitoring and certification of the next section of metro D, Olbrachtova - Nové Dvory.  

Line D will be the fourth line of the Prague metro running in a north-south direction. When finished, it will extend from Náměstí Míru to Depo Písnice in the south of the city. It will intersect with the existing metro A and metro C lines, as well as with commuter trains at Nádraží Krč. The metro D line will use automated driverless trains. For further information please click cz/24 for tunnelbuilder archive. Visit https://www.dpp.cz. 16/22.
