Bridge across the Lochkov Valley, Prague Ring Road - a strutted frame construction of a special kind

This bridge, which connects Slivenec with Lahovice, is the project that completes the highway bypass south of Prague, in the Lochkov Valley. The bridge structure is 425.3 m long, 35 m wide and reaches a maximum height of almost 65 m. From both the architectural and engineering points of view, the bridge is an unusual design, with a curved composite structure supported by inclined concrete piers in the central span.
