Tyršův most

Tyršův most is a road bridge in Jaroměř that connects Pražské Předměstí with other parts of the city using reinforced concrete construction. It spans a waterway and carries daily traffic for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.

The bridge opened in 1932 and represented a modern advancement in eastern Bohemia's transportation infrastructure of that era. Its construction used contemporary building methods and materials that were considered progressive for spanning waterways.

The bridge is named after Miroslav Tyrš, a founder of the Sokol movement, connecting the structure to broader ideals of Czech physical culture. This naming reflects how the local community ties its infrastructure to figures of national importance.

The crossing is accessible to vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians and functions as a key daily route between different neighborhoods. Visitors should expect the area to be active during peak times.

The bridge was built shortly after the founding of modern Czechoslovakia and reflects the optimistic spirit of a new nation modernizing its infrastructure. This early post-independence project shows how quickly the region developed and strengthened connections between communities.
