Overview
D46 motorway () is a motorway in eastern Czech Republic, which runs from Vyškov via Prostějov to Olomouc where it ends and connects to the national road network. In the time-based toll system, the D46 motorway is tolled along its entire length, i.e. from the Vyškov-východ off-ramp (exit 1) to the end of the motorway after the Slavonín off-ramp (exit 37).
History
The construction of 38 km of the D46 began in 1972, with the first section finished in 1974. It was not until 1992 that the full length of the projected motorway could be driven over. Originally, the D46 was actually an expressway. It was officially turned into a motorway in December 2015. Currently, it is still used as an alternative to the D1 motorway. Capacity-wise, however, the narrow S 20.5/100 category road is no longer sufficient.
Future modernizations
The D46 motorway is completed in its entire length according to the current motorway network concept. Therefore, all upcoming projects concern only construction modifications of already completed sections. A rest area, MÚK Držovice is planned for 2030.
