The construction will be carried out by Skanska, which submitted the most favourable bid of CZK 1,266,866,061. The railway station, which is located close to the regional city centre, will completely change its appearance. New platforms will be created, which will be accessed by an underpass. The obsolete station building will be replaced by a new building, which will also serve as a background for the newly built transport terminal. Work is scheduled to start in August and be completed in mid-2026.

The Jihlava railway station will completely change its shape. Two modern platforms will ensure comfortable and fast boarding of trains. An underpass will be built for safe passenger access, which will also lead under the tracks to Mostecká Street. The staircase to the platform will always be complemented by a lift.

A roundabout will be built in place of the existing railway station building. The space left by the removed tracks will be used for the new building that will replace it. The ground floor will house a common arrival and departure hall, while the first floor will be a waiting area for transferring passengers.

The city of Jihlava will build a transport terminal in the area in front of the railway station. Public transport and bus stops will be built, as well as a P+R car parking with 68 spaces and roads connecting the individual sections of the terminal, including a roundabout. The project also includes new public lighting and pedestrian roads, and also provides for substitute transport stops and the extension of public greenery.
