Most kolejowy, Railway bridge in Przemyśl, Poland.
Most kolejowy is a steel railway bridge spanning 188 meters across the San River in Przemyśl, connecting two stations with parallel tracks. The structure uses a lattice design and carries passenger and freight trains daily.
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 displays engineering craftsmanship from the late 19th century with its distinctive lattice design, reflecting construction methods of that era. Railway workers and travelers have experienced this location as a central hub of regional transport for generations.
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.
In 2023 the historic structure was preserved while a new parallel bridge was constructed nearby. One section of the original was converted into a pedestrian and cycling path, now open to visitors.
