Kohnův most, Steel railway bridge in Pardubice, Czech Republic

Kohnův most is a wooden-decked steel bridge over the Chrudimka in Pardubice, in the former training ground of the 1st Railway Regiment. It has no official name; locally it is called Kohnův most or Zeleňák. Since its 2020 reconstruction, when all wooden elements including the deck were replaced, it has served pedestrians and cyclists.

The first bridge here carried the military narrow-gauge railway "Špitálka", which in the 1920s and 1930s served the training ground on the left bank of the Chrudimka and Pardubičky on the right. Its middle section used the Kohn bridge system, from which the name Kohnův most was transferred in 1926. By 1946 the present road bridge stood in its place; in May 2019 the city acquired the 19-hectare former training ground, and after a 2020 reconstruction the bridge reopened in December 2020.

The bridge has no official name. "Kohnův most" comes from the Kohn bridge system of the Czechoslovak army in the First Republic, whose middle section formed part of the predecessor; the name appeared in 1926 in a directive for the Špitálka military narrow-gauge railway, which also named a nearby stop after it. "Zeleňák" refers to the bridge's now barely surviving green paint, the same origin as the name of the Červeňák bridge about 300 m upstream.

The bridge now carries only pedestrians and cyclists; no trains run on it. It was closed for all traffic in June 2019 due to disrepair and reopened in December 2020 after all wooden elements, including the deck, were replaced. The surrounding former military training ground is open to the public.

The name Kohnův most appears in a 1926 directive regulating the Špitálka military narrow-gauge railway, which even named a nearby rail stop after it. The name came from the Kohn bridge set used by the Czechoslovak army in the First Republic; the middle section of the predecessor bridge contained this set, and the name passed to the present bridge.
