They want there:

Hitler's bridges began to be built during the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in 1939. When Hitler began his megastructures in the form of highways, which at that time were becoming a revolution in transport. As is well known, bridges are built before the work itself. So when the communists continued construction after the war, these plans came to fruition. This is how another motorway that leads from Brno via Velké Opatovice to Poland ended.

A unique duality

Duality

Due to its uniqueness, this building has become a national technical monument. The construction of the highway bridge itself uses the construction of the Hitler Bridge, so it is a part of and forms a duality.

Bridges in the occupation of hikers

Bridges have become an occupation of hikers. Both at Vojslavice, where tramps from the area used to go, and near Borovsko, where tramps from Prague went and about which Honza Vyčítal sings in their songs, or the tramp band Skaláci. Today, this place is flooded.

An unfinished bridge is not unfinished

Although at first glance the bridge looks unfinished, I read in one document that it is a completed bridge, even though it does not. What he lacks is a backfill that failed to finish.

It has become popular

Bridges have become popular, they are a popular place for photographers, reporters, but also for cultural experiences. Petr Kotvald sang the video clip Mumuland here

At the end of the bridge

The bridge is not completely straight, it twists a bit. The bridge is in poor condition. Its dilatations are already huge.

Terrible

To místo vypadá úplně jinak než na fotografii. Na té fotografii to vypadá krásně idylicky, v reálu to vypadá jako někde ve fabrice :(. Celá konstrukce je nastříkána na černo.
