I'm not a local but making the historical bridge a ped bridge sounds like an honest retirement

Rail is required below Vyšehrad, or else Prague's transport gets severely crippled.
Now the corridor desperately needs a third rail. The main question right now is whether to:
- upgrade the bridge, whose longetivity is dubious (studies vary wildly by how much needs to be replaced within 20 years), or
- dismantle and move the bridge to a place where a cycle/pedestrian one is needed and build a similar-looking but modern one, which would easily last over 100 more years. This is potentially more expensive and UNESCO doesn't like the panorama to be messed with.
