Railway bridge Milevsko - Staňkov, Railway bridge in Sepekov and Milevsko, Czech Republic.
The Railway bridge Milevsko-Staňkov crosses the Milevský potok stream and links Sepekov and Milevsko via railway line 201. The structure displays solid stone pillars and multiple spans typical of how railway bridges were built during that era.
The railway line Tábor–Ražice, carried over the Milevský potok by this nine-arch stone viaduct at kilometre 26.018, opened on 21 November 1889; Italian labourers took part in its construction. The viaduct was repaired in 2006 and 2009, and in 1988 it was entered in the central list of cultural monuments of the Czech Republic.
The structure holds designation as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic, documented in the Czech Monument Catalogue under number 1000149417.
The bridge remains in operation for railway traffic and leads to stations near Milevsko. From there, visitors can use regional train connections to reach other destinations.
Five corbels survive on the inner face of each pier's arch springing; they carried the timber centring used to build the arches in 1889. The Milevský potok flows under the third arch from north to south, and a drainage pipe sits at the centre of every arch.
