Śląsko-Dąbrowski Bridge

The Śląsko-Dąbrowski Bridge extends 527 meters across the Vistula River, featuring two vehicle lanes and separate tram tracks in each direction.

Built between 1947 and 1949 on the foundations of the Kierbedzia Bridge, which German forces destroyed during their retreat in World War II.

The bridge name honors the regions of Silesia and Dąbrowa Basin for their support in rebuilding Warsaw after the Second World War.

The structure serves as a primary connection point in the Warsaw W-Z Route, linking the eastern and western districts through vehicle and tram traffic.

Memorial plaques on the bridge mark the location where resistance fighters executed operations against Nazi officials during the Warsaw Uprising.
