The paper deals with diagnostics, recalculation, and determination of the current load capacity of three concrete arch bridges on the original railway line Bratislava - Žilina. This was built in 1954 in connection with the relocation of the line, caused by the exhibition of the Nosice reservoir. At present, the railway line has been relocated to a new location and the existing original line, including the existing engineering facilities, will be used for the construction of a new road connecting the district towns of Púchov and Považská Bystrica. The task was solved within the cooperation of Faculty of Civil Engineering with the Railways of the Slovak Republic (ŽSR in Slovak) and the Research and Development Institute of Railways (VVÚŽ in Slovak). The conclusions from the recalculations and the subsequently determined load capacity show that the bridge structures in question are suitable for further use, however, their reconstruction is necessary.
