Bechyně Bridge, Railway bridge in Bechyně, Czech Republic.

The reinforced concrete arch bridge extends 190.5 meters across the Lužnice River, featuring a central span of 90 meters and carrying both trains and vehicles.

Built in 1928 by architect Eduard Viktora, the structure formed a critical link on the Tábor-Bechyně railway line, the first electrified railway in Czech Republic.

The bridge earned national cultural monument status in 2014, marking its engineering excellence and role in the development of Czech transportation infrastructure.

The structure maintains separate paths for trains and road vehicles, with traffic signals controlling the flow when trains cross the 8.9-meter-wide deck.

Two connected concrete arches form the bridge structure, with columns reaching 28 meters high and maintaining a 6-meter distance at their peak.
