Nusle Bridge

Nusle Bridge spans 485 meters across the Nusle valley, connecting Prague 2 and Prague 4 districts with six lanes for vehicles and a metro line beneath.

Construction of this prestressed concrete bridge began in 1967 and completed in 1973, initially bearing the name of communist leader Klement Gottwald until 1990.

The bridge received recognition as Structure of the Century in the Transportation Structures category in 2000, marking its engineering significance in Czech infrastructure.

The bridge carries 160,000 vehicles daily while accommodating 750 metro trains through an internal tunnel, linking central Prague with southeastern districts and the D1 motorway.

Four massive concrete pillars support the structure, which rises 42.5 meters above ground level and features a trapezoidal cross-section housing the metro line.
