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 the fifth railway bridge built across the Vltava in Prague, after the Negrelli Viaduct, two Vyšehrad bridges and the Braník bridge. Its construction method was designed by Ing. Dr. Vilém Možíš and it was projected by Ing. Jaroslav Vostřel of Stavby silnic a železnic. It was inspected and approved in December 1976.

The bridge crosses the Vltava diagonally, so its Holešovice abutment stands further downstream than the Libeň one. It connects Praha-Holešovice station with the Rokytka junction and continues into the railway tunnel under Bílá skála. The four river pillars have a circular cross-section, keeping their effect on the current and river traffic small.
