The Railway Administration has an area decision for the reconstruction of the Prague-Smíchov station

Prague – The planned modernization of the railway station in Prague's Smíchov has progressed to another phase. The Railway Administration has now obtained a definitive change in the zoning decision for the reconstruction of the railway station. The organization wants to apply for a building permit and prepare a tender for the contractor in the first quarter of this year. The administration announced this today on Twitter. The station is expected to become part of a transport terminal in the future.

The Railway Administration is preparing a complete reconstruction of the station together with the Prague City Council, which is preparing a new transport terminal here. The railway part of the project includes a complete reconstruction of the station. The plan includes the renovation of the station building, including the check-in hall, as well as the platforms, underpasses, technological equipment, and both the railway substructure and superstructure. The station, including the platforms, should be completely covered.

The entire station and its surroundings are expected to undergo further changes in the coming years, which the capital city is preparing. A bus terminal is to be built on the roof of the building, a P+R parking garage for 1000 cars is planned, and a new pedestrian bridge over the railway is set to connect Smíchov, Radlice, and the new Smíchov City district, which is being developed between the station and Na Knížecí street.

The previous government of Andrej Babiš (ANO) had planned that the headquarters of the Railway Administration, the Road and Motorway Directorate, the Ministry of Transport, and Czech Railways could relocate to the transformed station area. The current leadership of the Ministry of Transport has not yet commented on this project.
