Czech infrastructure manager Správa železnic has launched a tender for a feasibility study into a proposed Prague-Most high-speed rail connection, known as VRT Poohří.

The study will evaluate nine potential routes to reduce travel time from two hours to just 40 minutes. The proposed Prague–Most high-speed line would diverge from the planned Prague–Dresden corridor, with two possible junction locations under consideration: one near Roudnice nad Labem in the Ústí Region, and the other near Nová Ves in the Central Bohemian Region.

The study will evaluate whether the Prague-Most line should serve both passenger and freight traffic, as is planned for the section between Litoměřice and Dresden, or be limited to passenger services only. Design speeds of 200, 250, and 320 km/h will be assessed. Additionally, the study will examine necessary upgrades to existing regional lines that would link to the new route, such as the Louny–Žatec corridor.

The study is expected to be completed in 2027.
