Tyršův most, Steel bridge in Litoměřice, Czech Republic
Tyršův Most is a steel bridge spanning approximately 400 meters across the Elbe River, with variable widths between 9.5 and 10.5 meters. The structure accommodates vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists across its length.
The bridge was constructed in 1910 as a steel structure, replacing an earlier cast-iron bridge from 1857. This replacement represented an important step forward in regional transportation infrastructure.
The bridge links Litoměřice with surrounding towns and serves as a natural meeting point for cyclists and pedestrians crossing between the two banks. It forms part of the daily rhythm of life for people moving between these connected communities.
The bridge features walkways on both sides providing safe passage for pedestrians. From here, visitors can access cycling paths along the Elbe and walking routes leading toward neighboring towns.
The bridge sits where the Ohře and Elbe rivers meet, serving as the main connection linking four distinct municipalities. This strategic position makes it a crucial point in the region's transportation network.
