Vyšehrad Railway Bridge, Rail bridge in Vyšehrad district, Prague, Czech Republic
The Vyšehrad Railway Bridge spans 196.3 meters across the Vltava River, connecting the districts of Vyšehrad and Smíchov with three steel beams and five arches.
Built in 1872 and reconstructed in 1901, this double-track bridge replaced an earlier single-track structure to meet the growing transportation needs of Prague.
The bridge stands as a registered cultural monument of the Czech Republic, representing the industrial engineering achievements of early twentieth-century Prague.
The structure carries rail traffic between Smíchov Train Station and Prague Main Station, with additional pedestrian walkways on both sides of the tracks.
The bridge exists without an official name, as the common designation 'railway bridge' became so established that it transformed into its permanent identifier.
