Prístavný most, view toward Petržalka
Prístavný most (literally Harbour Bridge, and formerly known as Most hrdinov Dukly or Dukla Heroes' Bridge) is a double-floor motorway-railroad truss bridge over the Danube in Bratislava, Slovakia, near the Port of Bratislava. It lies on the D1 motorway. It is a 599 m long (1080 m with access roads) bridge (over the Danube part), and was built between 1977 and 1985. There are also pathways for pedestrians and cyclists on the bridge.
Today, the bridge suffers from heavy traffic because it is a route for many commuters from Petržalka, though the situation improved a bit after the opening of the Apollo Bridge in 2005. It was built to handle around 60,000 vehicles/day, but there are commonly 100,000 vehicles/day or more.
