Puente de Praga, Madrid, Road bridge at Paseo de Santa María de la Cabeza, Madrid, Spain.

The Puente de Praga spans across the Manzanares River with four straight sections made of prestressed concrete and eight longitudinal support beams.

Originally constructed in 1925 for cattle transport to Legazpi slaughterhouse, the current structure was built in 1968 after two previous versions.

The Madrid City Council named this bridge after Prague in 1932, strengthening the connection between Spanish and Czech capitals through urban infrastructure.

The bridge serves as a key component of the A-42 motorway system, connecting different neighborhoods while accommodating both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

The structure features concrete sections with maximum spans of 45 meters, supported by beams measuring 2.70 meters in height.
