D1 motorway (Praha – Brno – Ostrava – Polish border)

Czechia's Praha – Brno – Ostrava motorway, drawn from Spořilov (km 0) to the Polish border, where it meets Poland's A1. Sections opened from 1971 (Spořilov – Mirošovice) to 1992 between Prague and Vyškov, from 2005 to 2011 between Vyškov and Říkovice, from 2007 to 2012 on the former D47 between Lipník nad Bečvou, Ostrava and the border, in December 2019 between Přerov and Lipník nad Bečvou, and in December 2025 between Říkovice and Přerov. Lots follow the cs.wikipedia section table, checked against ŘSD leaflets and the ŘSD D47 brochure where they exist; sections of the same era are listed one by one where their opening dates differ. Chainage starts at Spořilov, and km 0–5.2 has been a Prague local road since 1 January 2023. The 2013–2021 modernisation of Mirošovice – Kývalka (21 sections, about 161 km) and the rebuild of the Brno sections (01191.C reopened in April 2025, 01191.A under construction since October 2025) rework carriageways that were already open, so they are not lots and add no length. Where a source's section length differs from the drawn centreline, the sourced length is kept.
