Most Dr. Edvarda Beneše - Most Dr. Edvarda Beneše

Monumental

I go after him since childhood.

Interesting bridge that would need reconstruction ...

I used to go to this bridge like a little girl to my dad for a beer.

Concrete bridge over the bridge in the center of Stechovice.

Most Dr. Edvard Beneš in Štěchovice connects Brunšov and Štěchovice in the place where the ferry used to be. The bridge built in 1937–1939 according to the project of Miloslav Klement was the first bridge construction in the Czech Republic (or Czechoslovakia), which had two hollow concrete arches with a span of 114 meters, on which the bridge deck is suspended. At the time, it was important as a building on a European scale. In order to transfer traffic across the Vltava between Štěchovice and Brunšov, Miloslav Klement designed an elegant and, for his time, technically extremely advanced reinforced concrete bridge structure. The construction was carried out in the years 1937-1939 (22 months) by a company led by Ing. J. Kindle. The grand opening of the bridge took place on May 20, 1939. In 1946, it was ceremoniously named “Dr. Edvard Beneš ". Since the end of 1965, the bridge has been a national cultural monument. The length of the bridge is 114 meters, width 9.2 meters, the rise of the arch to the bridge deck 12 meters. The arch has a cross-section of 1.75 x 1.60 m. The last major repair was made in 1995. In 2002, the bridge withstood a century of water without damage. Nevertheless, it was not accessible for several days because water rolled over it.

Beautiful concrete building :)
