Švehlův most, Reinforced-concrete road bridge in Horky, Tábor, Czech Republic

Švehlův most is a reinforced-concrete road bridge over the Lužnice in western Tábor, below Kotnov Castle, on route II/137 toward Malšice. Its arch rises 25 m above the river, the deck is 167 m long and climbs at a 5% grade, and the two bridge ends differ in height by about 850 cm.

Construction of the reinforced-concrete arch bridge began on 1 July 1934 and it opened on 28 October 1935, built in 16 months. It replaced an inadequate older crossing on the road west from Tábor, a project pushed by mayor Václav Soumar and tied to army defence needs. It was named after former Czechoslovak prime minister Antonín Švehla, renamed Sokolovo Bridge under the communist regime and given its old name back after 1989.

The bridge takes its name from Antonín Švehla, a former Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, though it was called Sokolovo Bridge during communist rule. The original name was restored after 1989 and reflects how the region moved away from that period.

The bridge carries regional traffic and can be used by pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles to cross the Lužnice. This route provides a direct passage through the area, making it useful for anyone traveling between the nearby communities.

The bridge deck climbs at a 5% grade, so the two abutments differ in height by about 850 cm. It was built in just 16 months and opened on 28 October 1935.
