According to last year's report (2022) of the Supreme Audit Office, more than 1,700 road bridges in Slovakia are in a state of disrepair, some of them even beyond their service life. "If we count bridges on second and third class roads plus footbridges, we have up to 20,000 of them. It is not a small number and they deserve more attention from administrators." says bridge design expert Matúš Uhlík in an interview with INDEX.

Expert article Ing. Ondrej Podolec on the topic Trends in tram track construction
The track design of tramways has historically gone through various stages, as in the case of railways and stages of development. The fundamental difference between urban rail and conventional railway track is the amount of axial pressure that the track superstructure and substructure have to bear. On railway lines, the vertical static load per axle is up to 22,5 tonnes, the load on urban railways is approximately 11 to 12 tonnes. The load values are determinant for the structural composition of the track components.
