“Modernization of Railway Track Pardubice –Stéblová: New steel bridge over Labe river”

Abstract

The construction of a new double-track steel railway arch bridge over the Elbe river, which replaced the original single-track bridge from 1966, has significantly increased the capacity, speed, and smoothness of railway traffic in Pardubice. This 140-meter-long, three-span bridge was realized as part of the modernization and double-tracking of the Pardubice - Hradec Králové line between 2021-2024. Its construction, coupled with the provisional use of the original bridge, represents a remarkable engineering feat
