Bridge in Szczucin, Road bridge in Szczucin, Poland

The Bridge in Szczucin is a road truss bridge with a lower deck of variable height over the Vistula, carrying National Road 73. The current steel structure was built in 1953 on 1939 piers, with plate-girder spans over the floodplain. A narrow-gauge railway track once ran along its middle.

A wooden truss bridge of eight 41.30 m spans opened here in 1925, carrying a narrow-gauge railway track of the Jędrzejów–Szczucin line in its middle. Polish troops blew up the crossing in 1939 and German forces destroyed it in 1945. The present steel structure was made in 1939, assembled in 1952 by Mostostal of Warsaw under Tadeusz Florczak, and completed in 1953 on the 1938–39 piers.

The bridge serves as a daily crossing point where residents and travelers experience the Vistula River as both a natural barrier and a connector. It represents how infrastructure shapes the rhythm of local movement and commerce through the town.

The bridge carries National Road 73 over the Vistula, with a roadway open to vehicles and pedestrians. Its truss has a variable-height, through-deck design, so the clearance and the line of the crossing change along the span. Approach from the Szczucin side on the road itself; the structure has no separate footway.

The 1925 bridge was originally wooden, with eight spans of 41.30 m each. A narrow-gauge railway line from Jędrzejów to Szczucin ran along its centre; when the steel bridge replaced it, the track was moved to the south-western side and removed in the 1970s, its groove filled with asphalt.
