Maria Skłodowska-Curie Bridge, Warsaw, Steel beam bridge in northern Warsaw, Poland.
Description
The Maria Skłodowska-Curie Bridge is a steel structure crossing the Vistula River with three parallel sections that separate different types of traffic. It links the districts of Białołęka and Bielany, allowing vehicles, trams, cyclists, and pedestrians to travel across in their own dedicated areas.
History
Construction began in 2009 and finished in 2012, resulting from a partnership between Polish and Spanish engineering firms. The project marked an important infrastructure development for the city's river crossings.
Culture
The bridge honors Maria Skłodowska-Curie, the Polish scientist who won Nobel Prizes, making her legacy visible in everyday Warsaw life. Locals cross it regularly, and the name connects daily commuting to Poland's scientific heritage.
Practical
The bridge handles daily traffic with separate lanes for each type of user, making crossing straightforward regardless of your mode of transport. Pedestrians and cyclists have their own dedicated spaces, separate from vehicles and trams.
Did you know?
The structure uses ten spans of varying lengths and combines steel with concrete in a hybrid design that balances strength and flexibility. This approach lets the bridge handle heavy daily traffic while absorbing natural movements and stresses.
