Highway D3 (Czech: Dálnice D3) is a highway in the Czech Republic. It will go Prague through Tábor and České Budějovice to Kaplice and there continue as Expressway R3.

As of 2006 only 8 km of full motorway (+ 18 km of semi-highway) are in operation near the city of Tábor and Veselí nad Lužnicí. Another 7 km segment near Tábor is under construction (opening expected in 2007). Most controversial and disputed is planned segment in Central Bohemian Region.

[edit] Expressway R3

25 km long section from Kaplice to the border with Austria with future Mühlviertler Schnellstraße is considered to be built as Expressway R3.
