The 700 Years of Lublin Bridge

The 700 Years of Lublin Bridge is a modern arch structure spanning 96 meters across the Bystrzyca River, connecting Muzyczna Street with Stadionowa Street. It contains four traffic lanes, with two dedicated to public transportation, plus sidewalks and bicycle paths on both sides.

Completed and opened in 2017, the bridge commemorates the granting of Magdeburg rights to Lublin in 1317. The name connects the city's medieval milestone to its contemporary infrastructure development.

Residents voted on the red color for the steel elements, giving the community a voice in shaping the bridge's appearance. This choice connects the structure to daily life and local pride in the city's development.

The crossing is clearly marked with separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists on both sides of the traffic lanes. Peak hours can be busy at the bridge entrance since it is a key point in the city's inner circulation.

It stands as Lublin's only arch bridge and forms a key section of the city's inner beltway. This distinctive form makes it recognizable among the city's many thoroughfares.
