Švehlův most, Steel arch bridge in Horky Tábor, Czech Republic

The Švehlův most spans 167 meters across the Lužnice River with its central arch rising 25 meters above the water level.

Construction of the bridge, designed by architect V. Slavík and engineering firm Brázdil and Jež, reached completion on October 28, 1935.

The structure received its name from Antonín Švehla, former Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, though it was renamed Sokolovo Bridge during communist rule.

The bridge forms part of regional road II/137 connecting Tábor with Malšice and Sudoměřice u Bechyně, reducing travel distance by 1.3 kilometers.

The structure features an 81.6-meter main span with a 20.4-meter rise, supported by substantial stone pillars at each end.
