Railway bridge in Pilchowice, Railway bridge in Strzyżowiec, Poland
The steel truss bridge spans 151 meters across Pilchowice Lake, rising 40 meters above water level with two concrete and stone pillars supporting its structure.
Construction of the bridge began in 1905 and finished in 1906, initially crossing a dry valley that was later flooded when the Pilchowice Dam opened in 1912.
The bridge represents early 20th-century railway engineering in Lower Silesia, demonstrating the technical capabilities and construction methods of that period.
The railway line crossing the bridge has been closed since 2016 due to deteriorating conditions, with current plans focusing on future restoration.
German forces attempted to destroy the bridge during their retreat in 1945, but the damage was minimal and repairs allowed train service to resume by 1946.
