Most kolejowy, Railway bridge in Przemyśl, Poland.
Most kolejowy is a steel truss railway bridge over the San River in Przemyśl, on line 91 between Przemyśl Główny and Przemyśl Zasanie stations. Its weathered brown lattice of diagonal and vertical beams forms repeating triangles along both sides, with curved upper members above the deck. The span rests on two pale-yellow concrete piers.
The bridge was built in 1860 as part of the Vienna-Lviv railway line and underwent major reconstruction in 1891. It survived severe damage during both World Wars and remained strategically important for regional rail transport.
The bridge bears the name of Tadeusz Porembalski, Przemyśl's mayor in 1944. It carries passenger trains from Poland that terminate at Przemyśl, and it is counted among the elements that shape the city's landscape. The old truss spans, kept for their heritage value, are to hold a pedestrian and cycling route and a display of the Muzeum Ziemi Przemyskiej.
Visitors can view the bridge from the riverbank or nearby vantage points for photographs. Direct access to the tracks is not permitted, but surrounding areas offer good views of the structure and daily train activity.
The old truss spans were not demolished after the 2022–2023 rebuild: they were slid apart and kept for their heritage value. One now carries a pedestrian and cycling route, while the other is to be used by the Muzeum Ziemi Przemyskiej.
