Svinovské mosty

Svinovske mosty is a bridge complex made of steel and concrete structures that cross the Odra River, railway tracks, and the D1 motorway. The system sits approximately 11 meters above ground level and integrates multiple transportation routes in one location.

Construction of this bridge complex began in the 1970s as part of a plan to link October 28th Street with Opavska Street. The project was part of broader urban development efforts to improve connections across Ostrava.

These bridges serve as a central gathering place in Ostrava, linking the eastern and western parts of the city. They function as a lively crossroads where commuters, travelers, and residents pass through daily.

The bridge system includes elevators and escalators throughout, providing barrier-free access for visitors with different mobility needs. Direct connections to Ostrava-Svinov railway and bus station make the location easy to navigate and reach by public transport.

The structure features transparent glass panels in white, red, and gray tones that blur the line between indoor and outdoor spaces. This design creates a surprising sense of openness for a bridge complex of this scale and traffic volume.
