Podolsko Bridge, Concrete arch bridge in Temešvár, Czech Republic

The Podolsko Bridge extends 510 meters across the Vltava River with its main span reaching 150 meters in length and 55 meters in height.

Upon completion in 1942, the bridge marked its place in history as the longest arch bridge constructed during the Czechoslovak period.

The structure represents a milestone in Czech engineering, incorporating advanced design principles and reinforced concrete construction methods of the 1940s.

The bridge accommodates daily traffic of nearly 4,000 vehicles, connecting communities through the main road Silnice I/29 across the Vltava River.

The construction of Orlík Dam in 1961 raised water levels by 19 meters, submerging portions of the bridge's lower support structure.
