Królowej Jadwigi bridge

Królowej Jadwigi bridge is a concrete structure spanning 185 meters across the Warta River with a width of 22 meters. It connects Królowej Jadwigi Street with Bolesława Krzywoustego Street and features three main spans in its design.

The bridge was designed by engineer Lucjan Ballenstedt and opened on July 22, 1952, as part of Poznań's first ring road project. This crossing became a key element of the city's early postwar infrastructure development.

The bridge takes its name from Jadwiga I, a 14th-century ruler whose legacy remains connected to Polish history. Her name appears on this crossing, linking daily passage with historical memory.

The crossing carries both vehicle traffic and tram lines, making it a key junction for different modes of transportation. Access is straightforward from either side of the river.

The crossing underwent major repairs in 1994 and 2004 to maintain its structural soundness. These renovation efforts ensured the crossing remained reliable for today's traffic demands.
