Poniatowski Bridge, Steel bridge in Śródmieście, Poland.
The Poniatowski Bridge stretches 506 meters across the Vistula River, connecting the Powiśle and Praga districts of Warsaw with eight steel spans.
During World War II, German forces destroyed the bridge on September 13, 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, leaving only the lower piers standing.
The bridge received its current name in 1918 after Prince Józef Poniatowski when Poland regained independence, replacing its former Russian imperial designation.
The structure serves as a major transport link with separate lanes for vehicles and trams, connecting to the Wisłostrada expressway through an extended roadway.
At low water levels in the Vistula River, visitors can observe original pre-war benches that remain submerged near the bridge structure.
