The bridge is a strange, memorable shape, connecting the two banks of the river Elbe is located in Usti nad Labem. He looks so unusual that replicated on tourist postcards, posters, magnets and keyrings. Mariana bridge established in 1995-1998, is considered a modern symbol of the capital of the Usti region. To impress themselves on his background seeks every tourist arriving in the city.

The neighborhood mariánská gave the name to the new bridge and was largely determined by its shape. Its construction of the bridge required the architectural genius of the Novel Cocci and the work of other engineers. In 1999, the work of designers Mariana bridge was awarded by the European Association for steel structures. In 2001, this design received one title from journalists. The staff of a specialized magazine for architecture and design has made the bridge in ústí nad Labem in the list of the 10 most original and eye-catching steel structures of the world, built in the 90-ies of the last century.

The bridge is designed for cars, but pedestrians can use. The path to them is located right in the center of the structure.

Mariana bridge is the youngest of the three bridges ústí nad Labem. The construction of this building across the river cost the city of 750 million crowns. The bridge has already been tested for strength. His support has withstood the floods of 2002, 2006 and 2013.

Despite all the advantages of the Mariana bridge, the city can't say that his appearance helped unload the rest of the river crossing. Such a great town, ústí nad Labem, which is also one of the largest industrial centers of the Czech Republic, needs another overpass that would connect the downtown area with the Krasne-Brezno.
