Svinovské mosty, Road bridge system in Svinov, Czech Republic.
Svinovské mosty is a road bridge complex in Svinov, Ostrava, built from steel and concrete, crossing the Odra River, railway tracks, and the D1 motorway. The structure brings together several transport routes on multiple levels at one point.
Construction began in the 1970s as part of a project linking the new street 28. října with Opavská Street. The bridges span the railway line, the Odra River and the D1 motorway, forming one of the main transport links between Ostrava's eastern and western districts. The complex has since undergone several renovations, the latest designed by architect Václav Filandr.
The bridges connect the eastern and western parts of Ostrava and serve as a daily crossing point for commuters, travelers, and people on foot. Many use the walkways as a shortcut between the train station and the surrounding neighborhoods.
The complex has elevators and escalators throughout, making it accessible for people with different mobility needs. It connects directly to Ostrava-Svinov railway and bus station, so arriving by public transport is straightforward.
The last renovation was designed by architect Václav Filandr, who replaced a dark, cramped layout with glazed, light-filled spaces. The complex stands about 11 metres above the original terrain, and its lifts and escalators give step-free access to the Ostrava-Svinov railway and bus station building.
