Most metra přes údolí Prokopského potoka, Railway bridge in Prague 13, Czech Republic
The Most metra přes údolí Prokopského potoka is a steel and concrete bridge that carries Metro Line B between Hůrka and Lužiny stations across the Prokopský Creek Valley. The structure spans the valley in a way that allows trains to transport thousands of passengers daily without interruption.
The bridge opened on 11 November 1994 together with the whole V.B section of Line B between Hůrka and Lužiny. It was designed by architect V. Kraus as a two-track enclosed welded structure 375 m long and up to 17 m above the ground. David Černý later proposed decorating the tube with plastic artworks.
The bridge crosses the Prokopský Creek valley above Nepomucký Pond and the Central Park in Stodůlky. Architect V. Kraus designed the tube, and David Černý proposed decorating it with plastic artworks. Unlike the bridge between Rajská zahrada and Černý Most, its roof carries no cycle path or pedestrian zone.
