Vltavska underpass partly reopening
Supports will allow some trams and pedestrians but not cars
Trams and pedestrians can go under the overpass near the Vltavska metro stop at Bubenská street, starting Nov. 1. Cars are still excluded from using the surface of the overpass though.

“The current measures will protect under the overpass, but cars still cannot use it. They will only return when the bridge is reinforced by strong steel beams.”
The overpass has been under observation due to its condition, and cracks were seen to get worse during the past month.
The section in question was built in 1983, and the company that was monitoring the bridge, Pontex, said the section does not match the project documentation, which complicates the repair work.

Almost one-fifth of 700 bridges in the capital city are in poor, very poor or emergency condition, according to a report submitted in January to City Hall’s Transportation Committee by the TSK.
