overview about the place Prague has a new symbol of modern urban transport: its 21st bridge spanning the Vltava. After years of preparation, Smíchov and Podolí are now connected by a striking piece of architecture inspired by Czech Cubism and Brutalism principles. The elegant structure, built from exposed white high-strength concrete, provides a faster option for trams, buses, cyclists and pedestrians. More than 360 metres long and 16.5 metres wide, the bridge is supported by five piers and stands out for its carefully considered technical details, integrated lighting and the art installations emerging in the surrounding public spaces. history The ceremonial opening of the Dvorecký Bridge took place on 17 April 2026.
