Smržovka Viaduct, Railway bridge in Smržovka, Czech Republic

The Smržovka Viaduct is a railway bridge on the Liberec–Tanvald line, built in 1893–1894 from Jizera granite. It has nine arches, a total length of 123.5 m including abutments, a maximum height of 26.5 m, and a track-bed width of 4.9 m; it was laid out on a curve of 1,800 m radius.

The viaduct was built between 1893 and 1894 by Italian bridge builders and opened to traffic on 11 October 1894. Jizera granite was used for its construction. Its first repair came in 2008, when the masonry was sealed against water seepage and cracks were filled by injection.

The viaduct carries the Liberec–Tanvald line, opened on 11 October 1894, and its nine arches of Jizera granite were built by Italian bridge builders. The track runs through a curve with a radius of 1,800 metres, which visitors can see from the road passing beneath the arches.

The best viewing spot is from the road below the viaduct or from the surrounding hillsides that offer clear sightlines. Trains on the Liberec-Harrachov line pass regularly, and you can watch them crossing at certain times of day.

The viaduct was built in a curve with a radius of 1,800 metres, so from below the nine arches appear to shift alignment along the valley. Italian bridge builders erected it between 1893 and 1894 using Jizera granite, and the first repair came only in 2008, when the masonry was sealed against seepage and cracks were injected.
