Pňovany Bridge

The steel and stone bridge spans 210 meters across the Hracholusky Reservoir, standing at a height of 37 meters above the water surface.

Construction of the railway bridge began in 1899 and reached completion in 1901, connecting the regional railway line between Pňovany and Bezdružice.

The bridge remains an essential transportation link in the Plzeň Region, representing early 20th-century railway engineering in the Czech Republic.

Regular passenger trains cross the bridge every two hours, providing transportation services between stations while offering views of the reservoir.

The 2018-2019 reconstruction used a specialized method of sliding new steel spans onto the original structure by rotating them around the horizontal axis.
