Stamp Issue : 1980-05-06 

Nusle Bridge (Nuselský most) is a large reinforced concrete viaduct in Prague. It spans the Nusle Valley just south of the city center, and connects to the Pankrác district and southeastern parts of Prague. There is a 6-lanes highway on the surface and the Prague Metro C-Line passes through its interior.
The bridge is 485 meters long, 26.5 meters wide, with four pillars 42.5 meters tall. Construction began in 1968, the Nusle bridge opened on February 22, 1973. A major artery for north-south traffic, the bridge is crucially important to Prague’s transportation network. Nusle Bridge also has a nickname "Suicide Bridge" due to the number of suicides and attempted suicides since its completion. Tall chain link fences topped with polished metal were installed along the sidewalk in 1997 and 2007 to prevent further suicides.

位於捷克布拉格，娜斯樂大橋是一座大型鋼筋混凝土高架橋。它橫跨市中心以南的娜斯樂谷，並連接到潘克拉克地區和布拉格東南區。橋上是6車道的高速公路，布拉格地鐵C-線則從橋內穿過。
這座橋長485公尺，寬26.5公尺，距地面高42.5公尺。橋施工始於1968年，1973年落成，同年2月22日開幕。是布拉格極為重要的交通網路，也是南北交通必經之樞紐。但橋梁完成後,因數百多人企圖跳橋自殺而獲得「自殺橋」惡名。後於1997及2007年，加上高身鐵鏈欄桿和光滑金屬板，以防止跳橋自殺。
