The Redzin Bridge (Most Rędziński)

The Rędzin Bridge (Most Rędziński) on the Oder River is the longest and highest bridge in Poland. Is one of the most attractive sites in Wroclaw. It catches your eye from far away. It is the largest river crossing in Poland: - it is 1742-metres long (30 metres longer than the Solidarity Bridge over the Vistula River in Plock) and the pylon on which it is suspended is 122-metres high (8 metres higher than the viewing terrace of the Palace of Culture and Science - Pałac Kultury i Nauki).

The pylon is H-shaped. The construction employs an original solution: the two multi-lane routes are attached separately to the arms of the pylon positioned on an isle in the Oder River.

The Rędzin Bridge is part of the Wroclaw Motorway Ring Road

The chief construction engineer of the Rędzin Bridge is Jan Biliszczuk, a professor at the Wroclaw University of Technology.

 

Curio:There are over 130 bridges and gangways in Wroclaw
