New footbridge to open in Troja
A new footbridge linking Stromovka park and the Prague Zoo is due to open to the public on Friday.
The original bridge collapsed three years ago, injuring four people and sparking a wave of bridge inspections around the country.
An examination later showed that corrosion of the steel support cables had weakened the bridge.
Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib has promised that the new footbridge will be safer and wider, so it can also serve as a cycle path.
The footbridge will open without a ceremony so as to prevent people from gathering during the coronavirus epidemic.
