The DresdenâPrague high-speed line is a series of upgrades to reduce the train travel time by one hour between Dresden, Germany and Prague, Czech Republic, scheduled for construction after 2032. [1]
The main component is a planned 30.4-kilometre-long (18.9 mi) twin-bore base tunnel running northâsouth under the Ore Mountains between Heidenau station near Dresden and the city of ĂstĂ nad Labem, creating a 46-kilometre-long (29 mi) bypass to the existing Elbe Valley section of the DÄÄĂnâDresden-Neustadt railway. [2]
The new route forms part of the Orient/EastâMed Corridor in the European Union's Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). [3]
