Tento kratky most byl casti dalnice - preklenuje kanon reky Zelivky. Po nemecke porazce u Stalingradu roku 1942 byly veskere silnicni prace zastaveny. Dalnice zustala nedokoncena. Pilire mostu byly zatopeny nadrzi Svihov v letech 1965 - 1975. Vrchol mostu zustal nad hladinou a dnes se po nem muzeme prochazet.
EN: In 1939 Germany occupied Czechoslovakia and established a protectorate. Hitler started to built a motorway Prague - Brno very soon. This short bridge was part of the motorway - it crosses the canyon and river Zelivka. After the German defeat in Stalingrad (1942) all road works were stopped. The motorway stayed unfinished. The pillars of the bridge were flooded by the dam Svihov in 1965-1975. The top of the bridge stayed over the dam and today we can walk here.
