Prague - 30 years ago, on July 7, 1984, the Troja footbridge over the Vltava was ceremonially opened, connecting the Prague district of Troja with the Emperor's Island. A temporary pontoon bridge had stood at this location since 1976, which was swept away by floods in July 1981. Before that, a ferry operated at this site. The suspension bridge is exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, and in extreme cases, fire or ambulance vehicles may pass over it.
    The construction of the suspension bridge was designed by Jiří Stráský. It was built using an unconventional technology, where the deck consisted of panel segments threaded like "beads" on strong steel cables. This structure was suspended on support blocks on both banks. Its total length is approximately 260 meters and it is about three meters wide.
