Prague has begun preparing a project for the modifications of the Holešovice embankment

Prague - Prague has started preparing adjustments to the Holešovice waterfront at Bubenské nábřeží. The city council today selected the designers, and the city will pay them 2.3 million crowns. The waterfronts in Podskalí and Smíchov are heavily used by Prague residents for recreation, and the city wants to improve other areas along the river.

For the neglected area, including the former Coal Warehouses, the selected company Rössler & Rybář architects will prepare project documentation for the building permit and documentation for the selection of the project contractor.

"The construction area adjoins the buildings of Holešovice and, along the embankment line, connects upstream at Komunardů Street to the adjustment of Bubenské nábřeží; downstream, it borders the area of the Libeň port after the Libeň Bridge," states the document approved by the council today.

The city is also planning adjustments to the waterfronts further upstream on the Vltava. In Podskalí, galleries, cafes, and toilets will be added. The architects have proposed transforming the cells placed in the wall of the embankment. An investment of 13.5 million crowns will be made here.
