The bridge of the Land, originally called Most T. G. Masaryk, is a road reinforced concrete bridge in Piešťany, Trnava region. It originated between 1930 and 1931. The bridge was built by decision of the Ministry of Transport and Public Works of the Czechoslovak Republic in 1929. The project was won by the company ÞÚrad. author of the state. engineers Müller and Kapsa in Bratislava" Total construction costs amounted to 7 708 467,72 crowns of Czechoslovakia.
Bridge architecture is an example of functional style that is characterized by simplicity and practicality. The construction has seven fields with an oar radius of 52 metres and other fields of 29 metres long. On the night of April 3 to 4, 1945, the bridge was damaged by retreating fascist troops, which required its reconstruction and addition with a foothold.
The bridge was undergoing extensive reconstruction in 2014, which included extension of lane width and reinforcement of oar arch by steel ropes. After the reconstruction, the load capacity of the bridge was maintained at 12 tons.
The bridge has also become the target of several suicide attempts, which has led to a closure for transport. In 2019-2021, the reconstruction of the footpath and cyclists on the north side of the bridge was launched, but due to lack of finance it was won after only a few complications. The Lava was opened on 26 March 2021 and later re-closed for treatment.
Today, the Krajinsky Bridge is an important transport part of Piešťany, which connects the southern tip of the Spa Island and serves as an access route for tourists and residents. Its historical importance and architectural solution make it an attractive destination for visitors who want to learn more about the city and its heritage.
