I’m not a local but making the historical bridge a ped bridge sounds like an honest retirement
Rail is required below Vyšehrad, or else Prague’s transport gets severely crippled.
Now the corridor desperately needs a third rail. The main question right now is whether to:
- upgrade the bridge, whose longetivity is dubious (studies vary wildly by how much needs to be replaced within 20 years), or
- dismantle and move the bridge to a place where a cycle/pedestrian one is needed and build a similar-looking but modern one, which would easily last over 100 more years. This is potentially more expensive and UNESCO doesn’t like the panorama to be messed with.
Reading this while riding train over that bridge.
