Milos Sykora Bridge – Past and Present
Original language description
The history of the bridges across the Ostravice River connecting the Silesian and Moravian parts of Ostrava has a long history. From 1847 to 1851 the Ostravice River was spanned by a chain bridge (the "Kettenbrücke"). From 1886 to 1912 there was a temporary structure called the Empire Bridge (the “Reichsbrücke”). After being destroyed by floodwaters, it was replaced by today’s bridge in June 1913 produced by Vitkovice Iron Works. Bridge titled Milos Sykora Bridge is one of Ostrava’s iconic structures, instantly recognizable by its distinctive arch. The bridge is named after the hero, who died in order to save the undermined bridge at the end of World War II.

The historical steel bridge has a steel truss arch with a span of 60 m and rise of 7 m, the total length of the bridge is 92 m and wide is 16 m. On the bridge there are two paths, each three meters wide. The bridge undergone a total reconstruction in 1979 and renovation in May till August 2002. The paper focuses the history and present of this historical structure.
