D55 motorway (Olomouc – Přerov – Hulín – Otrokovice – Staré Město – Bzenec – Břeclav)

Czechia's D55, called expressway R55 until 31 December 2015, runs along the Morava valley from Olomouc to the planned junction with D2 at Břeclav. The lots follow ŘSD stavba numbers: Hulín – Otrokovice opened in 2006 and 2010, the Otrokovice south-east bypass in 2021, Babice – Bzenec in 2024–2025 and Olomouc – Kokory in December 2025. Kokory – Přerov has a selected contractor, Napajedla – Babice is out to tender, and Bzenec – Rohatec is in preparation. Přerov – Hulín runs on D1 and is counted in cz-d1. Rohatec – Lužice and Lužice – Břeclav (stavby 5512 and 5513, about 23 km) are not drawn, because OpenStreetMap maps no new route there. Lots are cut at junction nodes mapped in OpenStreetMap; the sourced lengths are kept.
