A bridge connecting the Prague 6 and Prague-Troja municipal districts at a bend in the river, linking the Podbaba and Troja neighborhoods. According to the study, the bridge is designed to accommodate tram, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic, with the option for emergency services vehicles to use it. As with the Dvorecký Bridge, for example, motor vehicle traffic is not anticipated.

The importance of the structure stems primarily from the need to connect the so-called northern tram tangent—a route linking the Kobylisy area, through the Bohnice housing estate and Troja, to Podbaba, where it will connect to the planned line to Suchdol. Tram tangents are priority public transportation projects; they help connect outlying residential areas via public transportation, thereby increasing its competitiveness and facilitating residents’ mobility. At the same time, they contribute to the stability of the network during emergencies (service disruptions, etc.)
