Bílý most, Road bridge in Špindlerův Mlýn, Czech Republic.
Bílý most is a road bridge crossing the Elbe River in Špindlerův Mlýn, connecting different areas of the mountain town. The structure spans roughly 28 meters and serves as a key passage for local and visitor traffic through the settlement.
A wooden bridge with a timber pillar in the river stood here from 1829 until the flood of 29 July 1897 swept it away, along with the Bedřichov bridge, a smithy, a count's sawmill and a paper mill. After the Labe channel was reworked between 1899 and 1913, the reinforced concrete bridge was built in 1911.
The bridge marks the start of Harrachovská cesta, the route leading from the post office building to the Savoy Royal Hotel. Its two concrete arches above the roadway have become a recognisable feature of the town centre, and the wooden railing with 17 posts carries a truss motif.
Bílý most is part of the pedestrian zone running from the Česká pošta building to the Savoy Royal hotel, and the Harrachovská cesta begins at the bridge. Sidewalks along both edges are separated from the roadway by low walls, and the wooden railing has 17 posts.
