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.
A medieval wooden bridge stood here from the mid-15th century, first documented in a 1454 toll privilege of King Ladislaus the Posthumous. In 1686 Giulio Broggio began a stone bridge completed in 1711 by his son Octavio, and in 1853–1859 its wooden structure was replaced by iron. The present steel bridge was built in 1906–1910.
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.
