Železniční most pod Bulovkou, Railway bridge in Holešovice district, Prague, Czech Republic
The Železniční most pod Bulovkou is a railway bridge that links Holešovice and Libeň across the Vltava River. The structure spans the river valley with five sections and carries train traffic between these two city districts.
The bridge was completed in 1975 as a key infrastructure addition to Prague's railway network. This project emerged during a period of intensive urban modernization in the mid-20th century.
The bridge structure incorporates engineering innovations of its time, featuring round pillars that measure twenty meters at the base and eight meters at the top.
The bridge follows the natural slope of the river terrain and adapts to railway traffic demands. Visitors can view the structure from both riverbanks and photograph it from various points along the Vltava.
The bridge was constructed on a section of the Vltava River that had been excavated but not yet flooded with water. This method allowed precise building on dry ground before the water returned to fill the riverbed.
