The Úvaly Railway Bridge (cs|Úvalský železniční viadukt, also known as Devět kanálů) is a railway bridge in Úvaly in the Czech Republic. It is located on the Prague–Kolín railway line.
The structure is long, built in a slight arc over the valley of the Výmola river. The bridge was built in 1844 out of sandstone and granite blocks, reaching a height of . This section of the railway line between Pardubice and Prague was entrusted to chief engineer Jan Perner, who designed the bridge. A second concrete bride was built away from the structure in 1954–1955, due to an expansion of the line, the addition of a third track to that section of the railway.[1]
Since 2008, it has been a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.[1]
