The construction of bridges is one of the most demanding and costly parts of road construction. In the Louny district, the new bridge near Velemyšlev on the road I / 27 Most – Žatec is one of the largest, in the coming years it will include bridging over the valley near Žiželice on the same road or motorway bridges near Chlumčany, over Ohře near Postoloprt or the future Kryry dam. near Černčice in the Podbořany region.

On the other hand, there is also one completely useless bridge in Žatec. It is on the road between Staňkovice and Bitozevsí, near the junction with the D7 highway Prague – Chomutov. It has no function, the space between the fields around it is overgrown, there are sprayers on its walls.
The bridge was built in connection with the construction of the nearby Triangle industrial zone about fifteen years ago, due to the possible renewal of the railway siding from Postoloprt. It once supplied fuel to the former military airport near Žatec, the dormitories have long since disappeared. Restoration of sidings is unlikely, factories in the zone prefer truck transport.
The busy road in the Bohemian Central Mountains will change. He avoids three villages
The bridge, although not performing its function, needs regular maintenance. And sometimes a bigger repair. One of them is to come this year, when its owner, the Ústí nad Labem Region, plans to exchange the bridge closures. The cost, together with the neighboring bridge over the highway, is estimated at almost five million crowns.
