Facelift for the Charles Bridge

16 May 2011 - New contracts - Czech Republic

In late 2010, after three years of works, SMP CZ (VINCI Construction) completed the third phase of the renovation of the Charles Bridge, built in 1357 and one of the iconic historic structures of Prague. The operation saw the SMP CZ specialists successively remov­ing the parapets and the layers of the roadway, making the structure watertight, laying gas pipes for the gas lamps, apply­ing the layers of the new road surface and replacing damaged stones. Throughout these works, supervised by the National Institute for Historic Heritage and the Ministry of Culture, the bridge remained accessible to the public.
