Bridges

The road crosses Jeřice in Mníšek via a 12.80 meter long bridge from 1890, which has two arches. During 1999, its reconstruction took place, when the vaults were strengthened using a reinforced concrete plate.[3]

The Smědá in Frýdlanta was crossed by a road over a wooden girder bridge that stood at the end of Máchova Street since 1862. However, it was swept away by a flood in 2010.[4] In the northwest of the city, the road crosses over Řasnica along a 9.60-meter-long one arched bridge with a stone parapet wall.[5]

In Arnoltice, the road crosses the Bulovský stream on a bridge with two arches. It was built in 1880 and during the reconstruction it was strengthened by an inserted reinforced concrete slab with cantilever cornices.[5]
