Our company participated in the realization of the cycling bridge between Horní Lideč and Valašské Příkazy by delivering the steel structure of this exceptional 60-meter bridge, which forms an important part of the international long-distance cycling route BEVLAVA (Bečva – Vlára – Váh). The project represents a significant step in the development of cross-border infrastructure and safe connectivity between the Moravian and Slovak border regions. The cycling bridge also creates new opportunities for tourism and active mobility by connecting the route from Vsetín to the Slovak Považie region. We are proud to have been part of a project that connects not only two riverbanks, but also regions and people.
The footbridge structure is designed as a truss system with a top deck spanning 60.0 m, connected to two concrete spans of 16.0 m and 12.0 m. The entire structure acts statically as a continuous beam. The load-bearing steel structure consists of two truss girders arranged in a rhombic system, featuring a curved bottom chord made of circular hollow sections interconnected by crossbeams. The main girders are inclined and converge toward the midpoint of the span. The deck is designed as a reinforced concrete slab at the level of the top chord. The crossbeams connecting the top chords are embedded in the deck, which ensures the stability of the top chords. The structure is indirectly supported on bearings of the end cross girders.
The project was completed with a total value of CZK 12,549,846.
