Our company delivered a major project – a steel footbridge connecting the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The structure serves pedestrians and cyclists, linking the villages of Mikulčice and Kopčany, and integrates with local cycling and tourist routes in an area rich in history and protected natural landscape.
The bridge was completed and officially opened in 2019 after approximately one year of construction. Its design and placement were carefully adapted to strict environmental requirements and site constraints, including limited access from the Czech side.
The footbridge is designed as a slender steel structure with a composite steel-concrete deck. It spans 141 m, with a main span over the river, and is supported by a system of truss girders and arches with suspended elements. The substructure consists of abutments and piers founded on deep reinforced concrete piles.
This project combines technical precision with respect for the surrounding environment, creating a functional and elegant connection between the two countries.
