D55 motorway (Czech: Dálnice D55), formerly R55 expressway (Czech: Rychlostní silnice R55) is a motorway in the Czech Republic. The D55 will connect Olomouc and bypass Přerov, Hulín and Otrokovice, where the regional town of Zlín will also be connected via the D49. Through the sections around Uherské Hradiště, the D55 will be connected to the D2 near Břeclav in the future.

There are currently 19 kilometres (12 mi) in operation and 30 kilometres (19 mi) under construction. When completed, the total length of the D55 motorway will be 100 kilometres (62 mi).^[1]

The motorway was designated as a four-lane H55 on 10 April 1963. The construction of this motorway has been confirmed several times by government resolutions, most recently by a resolution of the government of the Czech Republic of 21 July 1999.

The construction of the north-eastern part of the Otrokovice bypass was the first to start in February 2002 and was put into operation in October 2006. In 2008, two connecting sections around Hulín started to be built and were put into operation as expressways at the end of 2010.

Other sections were already planned as motorways. First, the south-eastern part of the Otrokovice bypass was being built from October 2018 to November 2021, then the sections Babice - Staré Město (from September 2020), Staré Město - Moravský Písek (from August 2021) and Moravský Písek - Bzenec (from September 2022), which were put into operation in 2024. In April 2023, the construction of the Olomouc - Kokory section and the bridge near Napajedel began.

Under construction is the 7.62 kilometres (4.73 mi) section Olomouc - Kokory, and the short 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) Napajedla - Babice section (bridge),^[2] both to be opened in 2025.

Construction work on the sections Napajedla-Babice and Kokory-Přerov should start in 2026 and their commissioning is planned for 2029. The remaining four sections from Bzenec to Břeclav are to be built in 2028 and commissioned gradually in 2031 and 2032.
