Prague Back Streets 4k walk: Is there life under Nusle Bridge 🇨🇿 Czech Republic HDR ASMR

Today we will continue our walk through the back streets, pass through Vinohrady and find ourselves under the Nusle Bridge!

Nusle Bridge (Nuselský most) is a prestressed concrete viaduct in Prague, Czech Republic. It connects Prague 2 and Prague 4 across a valley that forms part of the Nusle district. The bridge is one of the longest in the country and carries two footpaths, a multi-lane road, and part of the city's rapid transit network. The bridge links the city center to its south-eastern districts, such as Pankrác, and joins the D1 motorway leading to Brno. It is crucial to Prague's transportation network since almost all north-south traffic flows across it.
The bridge is 485 meters long and 26.5 meters wide, consisting of a reinforced concrete structure with four pillars—two sections of the bridge span 68.5m and the other three-span 115.5m. The average height above the valley is 42.5m. The conduit for metro line C has a trapezoidal cross-section, with a height of almost 6.5 m and wall thickness from 30 to 110 cm. The road is illuminated by lamps mounted in the central reservation.
Construction began in 1967, and it opened on 22 February 1973 under the name Klement Gottwald Bridge (Most Klementa Gottwalda), honoring the late communist revolutionary and former president Klement Gottwald.
A total of 200 to 300 people have been recorded to have taken their own life by jumping from the bridge, garnering the nickname "Suicide bridge." Since 2011, the deceased have been commemorated in the monument "Of One's Own Volition" by Krištof Kintera in the park below. The original safety railing was 1m high. In 1990, a 1.5m wide net was hung underneath the railing. Additional fencing was added between 1996 and 1997, heightening the barrier to 2.7 m. In 2007, the fencing was topped off with another meter of polished metal to make it near-impossible to climb.
