Vojslavický bridge

I had no idea that there is such a thing with us at all, that the fact that cars pass over you from the highway creates a really interesting atmosphere.

Vojslavický dvojmost - a two-story bridge over the river Želivka One of the technical uniqueness of the Czech Republic is the doubleness on the D1 motorway across the river Želivka between the villages of Píšť and Vojslavice, about 15 kilometers from Humpolec. The road on the lower floor of the bridge connects the villages on both sides of the river Želivka and today serves only local transport. The D1 motorway between Prague and Brno runs upstairs. First drive on D1 ... well nothing and then under D1, stop. Interesting place, very nice experience.

Dvojkost u Koberovic, also called dvojmost u Píště, is a building built above the valley of the river Želivka northwest of Humpolec. The locality planned a highway in the 1930s, which connected the then Czechoslovakia in a west-east direction. It crossed the river here over a bridge, which was built in 1942. During World War II, however, construction work on the highway ceased. After the war, the work was resumed, but in 1950 the construction of the highway was completely completed. However, the growing intensity of traffic during the 1960s prompted the resumption of work on the construction of the motorway. According to the original project, its route was supposed to lead to a bridge with a slope of 6%. However, the post-war technical standards no longer allowed it and limited the maximum rise or fall to 4.5%. Therefore, the building built near Vojslavice in its then form could no longer be used. The solution brought the construction of a new steel bridge over the existing building, which uses the pillars of the existing bridge, but its bridge deck is located twelve meters higher. The chosen solution allowed the motorway to slope 4.2%, thus meeting the standards. The D1 motorway leads along the upper bridge, and the road III / 13036 connecting Vojslavice with Hořice leads along the lower one, which is still in operation. The building is a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

I drove this section so many times after D1 and I never knew what we were going through. After finding out, we went there and God. One side is passable, the other side is just for stopping, with an occasional hole for pleasing into the water (watch out for mobile phones so that they don't fall on you ?). It is definitely worth a visit.

A place worth visiting. A car passes here and there, otherwise the atmosphere is mainly created by the noise of cars passing along the D1. It is a pity that the area around the bridge is mainly rubbish and clutter in the style of public toilets.
