Grunwald Bridge in Kraków, Reinforced concrete tram and road bridge in Kraków, Poland
Grunwald Bridge is a reinforced concrete crossing over the Vistula River with three main sections spanning 153 meters and measuring about 31 meters wide. It carries two central tram tracks flanked by car lanes on each side, plus bicycle and pedestrian paths.
The bridge was built between 1968 and 1972 and named to honor the Grunwald Monument, which had been destroyed during World War II. The rebuilding effort of this monument influenced the choice of name for this new river crossing.
The bridge functions as a section of the Lesser Poland Way of St. James, connecting the historic religious sites between Sandomierz and Tyniec.
The crossing links Old Town with the Dębniki district and serves cars, trams, bicycles, and pedestrians with designated areas for each. It is a major junction in the traffic network, so expect it to be especially busy during peak hours.
Due to its low height above the water level, this crossing ranks among the two most vulnerable bridges in Kraków for flood waves and ice blockages. Its proximity to the water surface makes it particularly critical during spring ice melt seasons.
