Bascule bridge over Regalica, Railway bascule bridge in Szczecin, Poland
The bridge spans the Regalica River with five sections, featuring a central movable span that lifts to allow water vessels to pass underneath.
Initially constructed in 1877, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1949 after German forces destroyed it during their retreat in 1945.
The bridge gained international recognition when it became the central subject of the Oscar-nominated short film 'Most' in 2004.
The bridge operated with a 22kW electric motor that lifted the central span to a 65-degree angle within 50 seconds for river traffic passage.
Until 2023, this structure remained the last mechanical railway bascule bridge in Europe, featuring an innovative counterweight system for span elevation.
