D49 motorway (Czech: Dálnice D49), formerly Expressway R49 (Czech: Rychlostní silnice R49) is an expressway under construction in the Czech Republic. When completed, it will connect D1 highway to the Slovakia's D1 highway via the R6 expressway. It is supposed to replace the planned route of the D1 highway to Slovakia, which original direction to Púchov (Slovakia) was diverted and now leads to Ostrava.
Construction began in 2008, but was suspended in 2010 at first due to a lack of funding, but ultimately due to objections and lawsuits from environmental activists. In the fall of 2019, ŘSD planned to resume construction of the Hulín to Fryšták section in 2020, with commissioning planned for 2024; other sections would follow later. Construction of the first section resumed at the end of 2021.
In the fall of 2023, the planned section from Vizovice to the Slovak border was redesignated as first class road I/49.
