Prístavný most, Road bridge over Danube River in Bratislava, Slovakia
Prístavný most is a road bridge spanning the Danube River in Bratislava with two separate levels for different transport modes. The upper deck carries cars and trucks while the lower level accommodates a railway line serving the region.
Construction of this bridge began in 1977 and was completed in 1985 to meet growing transportation demands across the river. The structure was originally given a different name reflecting historical events from an earlier era.
The bridge links two major districts and plays a central role in how residents move through the city on their daily journeys. It has become a familiar landmark for people crossing the Danube as part of their routine.
The bridge operates continuously for both vehicle and train traffic throughout the day and night without interruption. Visitors can observe the structure and the river valley from the banks on either side to appreciate its scale and function.
Beyond carrying vehicles and trains, the bridge also houses water and gas pipelines beneath its decks, serving multiple infrastructure needs. This multipurpose design makes it more than just a simple crossing for traffic.
