The Kolonádový most (Colonnade Bridge) spans the Váh river in Piešťany, Slovakia, linking the town to the Spa Island. Architect Emil Belluš designed it in 1930–33 in the Streamline Moderne style, an international Art Deco idiom of the 1930s. Its centre holds glass engravings by Martin Benka, and Robert Kuhmayer's "Crutch Breaker" statue stands at the western entrance. Destroyed by the retreating German army in 1945, the bridge reopened on 30 December 1956 after reconstruction.
