Hi everyone!
Just a couple of weeks after I informed you about the decision of Prague authorities to demolish the Liben Bridge in this post, I am coming with another sad news on the same topic.

It was recently found out that the railway bridge connecting Prague neighborhoods of Vyton and Smichov is in very bad conditions too and it was already decided that this bridge will also be torn down and replaced with a new one.

Built in 1901, this huge steel bridge is not as famous and important as the Charles Bridge or some other old bridges in the historic center of Prague but its distinctive appearance just under the famous Vysehrad Fortress made it an iconic landmark of the area.
However, despite the indisputable popularity among both local people and visitors, the bridge was actually never named - it was only known as "železniční most" (meaning "the railway bridge").
Please feel free to check out some of my other recent posts.
