Troja Bridge (Trojský most), opened for public use in October 4th 2014, is not only important element of Prague' Inner City Ring but also one of the most beautiful pieces of contemporary architecture in the Czech capital (especially in night).
Troja Bridge is a double-deck, bowstring arch type bridge built over the Vltava River, connects the central city to the Prague' Inner City Ring in the Myslbekova - Pelc-Tyrolka section (Blanka Tunnel complex). It replaced the temporary tramway truss bridge named "Ramusák" ("The Noise maker") built in 1981 connecting both Vltava riverbanks. The bridge is equipped by two tram tracks, 2×2 traffic lanes and two pedestrian lanes.
