Prístavný most, in the past Most hrdinov Dukly (literally Harbour Bridge, Dukla Heroes Bridge respectively) is a major double-floor motorway-railroad truss bridge over Danube in Bratislava, Slovakia, near the Bratislava river harbour. It lies on the D1 motorway. It is 599 m (1080 m with access roads) long bridge (over Danube part), and it was built from 1977 to 1985. On the bridge there are also pathways for pedestrians and cyclists.

Today, the bridge suffers from heavy traffic, because it is route for many commuters from Petržalka (although situation got bit better after opening Apollo Bridge in 2005) and it was built to handle around 60.000 vehicles/24 hours, but commonly there are 100.000 vehicles/24 hours or more.
