Road bridge in Nymburk, Road arch bridge in Nymburk, Czech Republic
The road bridge in Nymburk is a reinforced concrete arch structure that crosses the Labe River and serves as a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic. The crossing handles vehicle and pedestrian traffic along regional road II/503.
The bridge was built in 1912 following a design by Eduard Zotter using modern reinforced concrete techniques of the era. It represents an early example of concrete arch engineering in Central Europe.
The structure received designation as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, marked by heritage ID number 17631/2-1898 for its architectural significance.
The bridge is easily accessible on foot and offers direct crossing over the river with stable pathways for both pedestrians and vehicles. Access is possible from the town center without requiring special arrangements.
The structure features an unusual design with two planes of cable stays combined with low pylons, a configuration rarely seen in similar works. This technical approach was unprecedented in Czechoslovakia when it was completed.
