Viaduct of Buštěhradská railway


When one goes from Smichov to Barrandov by tram, you can see this 21 metre high viaduct. It was built as part of the Buštěhradská railway in 1872. It has six stone arches and a steel middle section and is an important technical landmark.

Riding this part of the tram system in Prague 5, puts you on one of the two tram bridges(built only for trams) here in Prague. The other goes over the Vltava from Holešovice to Troja.
