Czech Republic: Ramp from the D2 to the D1 near Brno closed until 28 November 2026
At the Czech Republic's busiest motorway interchange, a central connection is being cut: At the Brno-jih interchange, the ramp from the D2 coming from Bratislava onto the D1 towards Ostrava is closed from 3 October 2026 to 28 November 2026. This was reported by the trade portal Zdopravy.cz on 2 October 2026. One of the most heavily used connections between Vienna, Bratislava and Ostrava is affected.
At the same time, on 3 October a new ramp was opened in the opposite direction, namely from the D1 coming from Prague onto the D2 towards Bratislava. The interchange has been undergoing comprehensive reconstruction since October 2025, with work scheduled to last until November 2027. The project costs around 3.2 billion crowns; it will transform the cloverleaf into a two-leaf shape and will receive noise barriers up to six metres high. Around 80,000 vehicles pass through there daily.
Diversion for cars and trucks
Cars leave the D2 at Modřice and travel via Vídeňská street back onto the D1 at the Brno-centrum junction (kilometre 194). Alternatively, the route runs via the streets Hněvkovského, Černovická and Ostravská to the Brno-východ junction (kilometre 203). Trucks are already diverted off the D2 at Břeclav and travel via road I/55 through Veselí nad Moravou onto the D55 towards Ostrava.
Expect waiting times on Brno's city streets, especially during rush hour. On the D1, there was also temporary single-lane traffic at night before the switch to the new traffic routing. Anyone who wants to change their route in advance anyway will find tips on alternatives in our article on toll roads in the Czech Republic and possible bypasses.
Vignette remains mandatory
The D1 and D2 are among the Czech Republic's toll-vignette-required motorways. Anyone who briefly leaves the motorway because of the diversion does not need a vignette on the city streets, but does need one for all motorway sections of the journey. Our overview of traffic rules in the Czech Republic summarises what other traffic rules apply.
Other important routes are already restricted as well: On the Prague Ring there is a closure of the D0 at Ruzyně, and on the D5 towards Pilsen there is a lane narrowing at Nýřany.

For trucks, buses and motorhomes over 3.5 t gross vehicle weight, the distance-based toll applies instead, charged via the electronic, satellite-based toll system MYTO CZ with an on-board unit (OBU); the rates are based on distance, vehicle category, number of axles, and EURO and CO₂ class. Not relevant for most car travelers. There is no separate special toll in the Czech Republic.
