Hitler's Highway?

When I first moved to Brno I remember somebody pointing out a large concrete structure to me and telling me that it was part of a planned but later abandoned expansion of the autobahn network during the Third Reich. If my memory isn't playing tricks on me the structure(s)are up around Bystrc/Kohoutovice way and are the supports for the highway rather than the road itself. I think one of them is visible from the dam part of Brno "dam". Can anyone fill in more details?

Yes, the supports you saw at the dam were from the Hitler highway, if you get off at the zoo stop and walk to the dam you will see a big concrete support and that's it. Apparently they want to use it now to make a highway to Kurim I think
