Most Pavla Wonky, Road bridge in Polabiny, Czech Republic.

Most Pavla Wonky is a three-span road bridge over the Elbe, 172.5 m long and crossing the river and its floodplain at a 60° skew. Its continuous prestressed-concrete girder has spans of 50 + 70 + 50 m, carried by three longitudinal box girders 8.0 m wide, each with three chambers. The clear width is 24.9 m: a 15 m roadway, two 1.60 m cycle tracks and two 2.90 m footways.

Construction began with earthworks in December 1955 and the bridge itself in May 1956; a flood threatened the site on 20 February 1958, and the first box girder was concreted on 24 March 1959. It opened on 5 January 1960 as the Czechoslovak-Soviet Friendship Bridge, linking the city to the right bank where the Polabiny housing estate was then built. It was renamed Most Pavla Wonky in 1990.

The bridge opened in 1960 as the Czechoslovak-Soviet Friendship Bridge; in 1990 it was renamed after Pavel Wonka, a Pardubice dissident who died in prison in 1988. A plaque or inscription bearing his name is what visitors can look for on the structure.

The bridge is an active transportation link that operates throughout the year and is regularly maintained. Those crossing on foot or by bicycle should use the designated paths, which are especially important during rush hours when vehicle traffic is heaviest.

The internal structure features three chambers reinforced by over 700 prestressing cables, showcasing 1950s engineering methods. This construction approach was an innovative solution for long river crossings at that time.
