Most Závodu míru, Road bridge in Zbraslav, Czech Republic.
Most Závodu míru is a concrete and steel bridge that spans 210 meters across the Vltava River, connecting different parts of Zbraslav. The structure carries both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, forming a key transportation link in the district.
The bridge was built in 1964 during the communist era and was part of a major modernization of the region's infrastructure. It reflects the spirit of that period when Czechoslovakia was reshaping its transportation network.
The bridge carries the name of a legendary cycling race that connected Eastern and Western Europe during the Cold War. This name reminds residents and visitors daily of a time when sports served as a bridge between divided continents.
The bridge is free to use and open around the clock for all types of traffic. The best views of the Vltava are from the sidewalks where pedestrians can walk safely alongside vehicle traffic.
Many people overlook that the bridge sits on the route of a historic cycling race that once stretched thousands of kilometers through two divided parts of Europe. Its location over the river makes it a subtle monument to this sporting and political history.
