Wenceslas Square reconstruction to go ahead in April

The City of Prague is planning to move forward with the reconstruction of Wenceslas square, despite the complications of the coronavirus pandemic. Already delayed for years, the city's leadership has finally managed to assemble all the necessary permits and appears determined not to squander the opportunity to make progress. The work would be carried out on the basis of the design originally put forward by the architectural studio Cigler Marani Architects in 2005. The city's spokesman Vit Hofman told the Czech News Agency that one of the primary difficulties will be the reduced opening times at public offices, he said. However, while Hofman conceded that some slight delays were possible, he expected work to get underway in April.
