D11 motorway (Czech Republic)
road
The D11 motorway (Czech: Dálnice D11) is a motorway in the Czech Republic connecting Prague to Pardubice region and Hradec Králové region to the border with Poland near Trutnov where it continues as Expressway S3 (Poland) to Legnica and Szczecin.
The section of the motorway from Prague to Hradec Králové and Jaroměř is part of European route E67 Via Baltica from Prague in the Czech Republic, to Helsinki in Finland, passing towns and cities in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
Around Hradec Králové, the D11 runs in concurrently with the D35 (between the Sedlice and the Plotiště interchanges).
History
Plans to build a highway connecting Prague and Hradec Králové date from 1938. Construction began in 1978, with sections 1101 (Prague-Jirny) and 1102/I (Jirny–Bříství) put into operation in October 1984. The second oldest 8.2-kilometre-long (5.1 mi) section, 1102/II (Bříství–Třebestovice) was put into operation a year later, in October 1985.
In 2009, the connecting section of the D35 motorway Sedlice (MÚK with D11) - Opatovice nad Labem (MÚK with I/37) was put into operation. This significantly accelerated the connection to Pardubice and the southern parts of Hradec Králové.
In 2017, the motorway was finally brought to Hradec Králové. In 2018 and 2019, there was an expansion to 6 lanes between Horní Počernice and Jirny, but only four lanes are still in use.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1269557. Authority coordinates are 50.117, 15.203. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
