|---|---|
| Section (from – to) | Jaroměř – Trutnov – CZ/PL state border |
| Regions | Hradec Králové |
| Total length (without exits) | 39 km |
| Maximum speed | 200 km/h |
| Maximum design speed | 200 km/h |
| Operation | High-Speed units Locomotive-hauled trains |
| Number of bridges – elevated tracks | 30–45 (to be specified in the next phase of project preparation) |
| Number of tunnels | 5 |
| Number of overpasses | 6–12 (to be specified in the next phase of project preparation) |
| + footbridges for pedestrians and cyclists only | To be determined |
| Number of ecoducts | To be determined |
| Reconstructed railway stations | Trutnov-Poříčí |
| Some topics of interest | Due to the rugged terrain, the Podkrkonoší section is conceived as a conventional line with a speed of up to 200 km/h to minimise investment costs. Due to longitudinal gradients of up to 35 ‰, no freight traffic is expected. |
