With a new P+R car park in Zličín, Prague aims to better manage traffic on the outskirts of the city. The facility, offering almost 600 parking spaces, is designed to encourage motorists to switch to the metro and buses before entering the city centre.
At its meeting on Monday, Prague City Council confirmed the winner of the tender for the construction of a new P+R car park in Zličín. The project, which will provide a total of 596 parking spaces, is intended to ease traffic congestion on the western edge of the city and make it easier for commuters to switch to public transport. Investment costs are estimated at around CZK 620 million.
The contract was awarded to the consortium P+R DEPO Zličín – BAK & MTS. According to the current timetable, the facility is expected to open to the public in mid-2028.
The new car park will be built on Na Radosti Street and will provide 462 parking spaces in a multi-storey building. In addition, an uncovered area for a further 134 vehicles is planned. In total, the site will offer 596 parking spaces.
According to the city, the project is intended to reduce the long-standing shortage of P+R parking spaces in western Prague. The aim is to encourage commuters to switch to the metro, buses and other forms of public transport on the outskirts of the city, thereby reducing traffic congestion in the city centre.
The car park will feature five levels with a split-level ramp system. A similar concept is already in use at the P+R car park in Černý Most. Of the total 596 parking spaces, ten will be reserved for people with reduced mobility. In addition, eight family parking spaces and eleven spaces equipped with charging facilities for electric vehicles will be provided.
Construction is expected to take 18 months. A further three months have been allocated for inspections and approval procedures. In addition to the car park, new bus stops will also be built in the immediate vicinity of the facility.
The city expects the project to reduce traffic volumes on surrounding roads. At the same time, emissions, noise and air pollution levels are expected to decrease, while access to Prague city centre should improve.
