Miloš Sýkora bridge, Cultural monument bridge in Moravská Ostrava and Slezská Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Description
The Miloš Sýkora Bridge is a steel and concrete structure that crosses the Ostravice River and joins two districts, Moravská Ostrava and Slezská Ostrava. It features separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists and serves as a major junction in the city's transportation network.
History
The bridge was built in 1914 to replace an older crossing called Říšský most. It received protected status as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic in 2009.
Culture
The bridge is named after Miloš Sýkora, a resistance fighter from World War II whose sacrifice is remembered through a memorial marking on the structure. Visitors who cross it become part of a place where local history and everyday passage intertwine.
Practical
The bridge is straightforward to cross on foot or by bicycle with clearly marked pathways for both. It is best explored during daylight hours when the river views below are most visible.
