Klapák, Iron pedestrian bridge in Slezské Předměstí, Czech Republic

The Klapák Bridge extends 45.7 meters across the Orlice River, connecting the districts of Malšovice and Slezské Předměstí in Hradec Králové.

Built in 1944 using the Bailey Bridge design developed by British engineers during World War II, the structure initially allowed vehicle traffic across the river.

The bridge earned its local nickname 'Klapák' from the distinct sound produced by vehicles crossing its metal surface before it became pedestrian-only.

Following a 19.2 million crown renovation in 2023, the bridge received new anti-corrosion treatments, support repairs, and lighting improvements for pedestrians and cyclists.

The bridge structure was completely dismantled, transported to workshops, and reconstructed to ensure an estimated service life of eighty additional years.
