Modern platforms and faster trains under Ore Mountains

Not only the large building of the Teplice v Čechách station, but also the line in the direction of the regional capital Ústí nad Labem underwent a complete renovation in the past period. Thanks to this, the inhabitants of the village of Krupka in the region below the Ore Mountains gained a new stop with modern shelters that offers comfortable and safe boarding of trains. In addition, the Bohosudov station and the connecting sections to Teplice and Chabařovice were reconstructed. The construction has been underway since 2020 and its total cost has reached nearly CZK 2 billion.

Approximately 5 kilometres of the double-track line in the section from Chabařovice to Teplice were reconstructed, including Bohosudov station. It has ceased to serve passengers; its station building is now used as a technological facility. On the other hand, the builders have built a new stop Krupka-Bohosudov. Like nearby Proboštov, it offers elevated platforms at the floor level of modern trains.

Signalling and telecommunication equipment, overhead contact lines, outdoor lighting and electric switch heating were also renewed. Thanks to the reconstruction, the line speed increased up to 135 km/h, thus shortening train travel times. A safety benefit is the replacement of the level crossing in Emílie Dvořákové Street in Teplice with a road underpass.

The total investment costs of the project amounted to CZK 1,946,536,109. The contractors were the companies Chládek & Tintěra, AŽD Praha and Elektrizace železnic Praha.

Project Reconstruction of the railway station Bohosudov was co-financed by the European Union under the Operational Programme Transport 2014–2020. The EU contribution can reach up to CZK 1,246,294,156. National funding was provided by Státní fond dopravní infrastruktury (State Fund for Transport Infrastructure ).
