Borovsko Bridge, Unfinished concrete bridge in Borovsko, Czech Republic.
Borovsko Bridge is an unfinished concrete structure spanning the Sedlický River, with portions submerged beneath the waters of a reservoir in the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands. The reservoir has protected the surrounding area since 1976 as part of Prague's drinking water supply system.
Construction began in 1939 as part of a highway project during the Nazi occupation and halted in 1942. Work resumed after the war from 1948 to 1950, with final approval granted in 1952.
The structure reflects engineering solutions developed across different political eras, showing how building projects adapted to changing circumstances. Its presence demonstrates continuity in infrastructure planning despite disruptions from occupation and regime changes.
The bridge sits within a protected water reservoir zone and remains off-limits to visitors. You can view it from a distance from surrounding land areas where viewing spots exist near the reservoir.
The structure is sometimes compared to the famous bridge in Avignon, France, because portions of it are surrounded by water. This similarity has made it a distinctive landmark in the region.
