Bechyně Bridge
Rail and road bridge in the Czech Republic
Bechyně Bridge (Czech: Bechyňský most) also known as Bechyně Rainbow, rarely Rainbow Bridge,[1] originally called the Jubilee Bridge,[2][3] is a unique reinforced concrete arch bridge over the Lužnice river on the eastern edge of Bechyně in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It is a combined bridge for road and rail traffic, used by Czech Route 122 (Týn nad Vltavou–Bechyně–Opařany) and the Tábor–Bechyně railway line.
During passage of trains, road traffic from Týn nad Vltavou to Bechyně is stopped by a crossing safety device without a barrier; the opposite direction of traffic is unaffected by the train. In 2014 the bridge was declared a national cultural monument.[4]
