The Czech Republic says goodbye to one of its ugliest railway stations
After many years of debate, demolition has begun on the original building of the main railway station in Mladá Boleslav, which is described as one of the ugliest railway stations in the Czech Republic by the news report zdopravy.cz.
The demolition of the existing building and the construction of the new one will be carried out by Strabag Rail in an investment of CZK 157 million (about HUF 2.52 billion). A new railway station with commercial units and a regional dispatching centre for the railway administration will be built on the site of the neglected 19th century building.
The station will also be improved with new parking spaces, green spaces and landscaping
The new ground-floor, barrier-free building will feature a modern check-in hall with ticket counters and public toilets. In the lobby, passengers will find an information system, vandal-proof equipment and vending machines for drinks and snacks.
The new complex on the site of the old building will serve as a multifunctional transport hub. The city of North Bohemia has also purchased land near the building, where it will build a large capacity car park with green space. The city's run-down suburbs will also be developed, according to the article.
The redevelopment of the station has been on the agenda for three decades
The phased demolition of existing buildings began on Wednesday 2 April and is scheduled to last eight to nine weeks. The article also quotes Petr Sodomka, a Strabag employee, as saying that construction should be completed by July next year. However, the company is trying to speed up construction to minimise the time passengers have to use the station under temporary conditions.
The press conference to launch the project was attended by Transport Minister Martin Kupka. He recalled that in Mladá Boleslav there had been talk of rebuilding the railway station since the 1990s, but that the plans had always been hampered by the desire to preserve the original building for its historical significance.
