The preparatory and construction work was difficult, carried out without special machinery in inaccessible terrain. The stone (granodiorite - granite in the vernacular) was transported through field grooves from the quarries on the banks of the Sázava River and from the valley floor upwards by a double-track railway. It was built in 1898-1899, and railway traffic on this part of the line started on 1 May 1900. Mostly built by Italian workers used to similar work in the Alps, the bridge bears no signs of damage to this day.
