Dvorecký Bridge
The Dvorecký Bridge is a new civil engineering structure over the Vltava River in Prague, connecting the city districts of Smíchov and Podolí while strengthening the transport infrastructure of the Czech capital.
The bridge, with a length of 337.8 metres and a width of 16.5 metres, has been designed for public transport lines, cyclists, pedestrians and rescue services. It is a significant new connection that helps to relieve congested traffic routes in the wider city centre and at the same time supports the development of sustainable urban mobility. The load-bearing structure of the bridge consists of five pillars, two of which have their foundations directly in the Vltava River.
Rohožník White’s reference project places an emphasis on architecture and sustainability
For the implementation of the visible concrete parts of the bridge, our white cement from the plant in Rohožník, specifically CEM II/A-S 52.5 N white, was used. It is a mixed white cement, and represents a more environmentally friendly alternative with a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional cements, and at the same time meets the high demands on the quality of béton brut in architecturally exposed structures.
According to the authors of the design, the visual solution of the bridge follows the tradition of Cubism and Brutalism in Prague architecture. The white concrete used on its surfaces completes the character of the entire structure.
The Dvorecký Bridge is also exceptional for its connection of transport infrastructure with public space and art. In its surroundings and under the bridge, new areas for cultural, community and sports activities will be created, including relaxation zones, sports grounds and art installations. Such projects are one of the ways in which Rohožník White is contributing to the implementation of modern and architecturally valuable buildings in Central Europe.
