Is Charles Bridge closed?

I read a couple of months ago that the Charles Bridge was to be closed for renovation. Is that true and if so is it closed to foot traffic?

I don't think it was ever closed outright, though the number of sellers' stalls may have been curtailed.

And I think that the Czechs were too smart to let it continue on into the peak tourist summer season.

I think that the renovations (or any limitations they caused) are currently complete, or suspended.

I think I read it here. I don't know where.

Best wishes,

Rex

If it is open beware of pickpockets. One report I read suggested there was more pickpockets per square foot on that bridge than anywhere else in Europe. I myself had my cell phone pickpocketted in the underground train in Prague at a time when cell phones were quite expensive.
