Nowohucki Bridge

The Nowohucki Bridge is a steel structure spanning the Vistula River in Kraków, stretching about 281 meters across the water. It connects multiple districts and has separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians.

Construction began in the early 1960s as part of post-war infrastructure development. Its completion in 1962 created a vital link between the newly developed industrial area and the historic city center.

The bridge is named after the Nowa Huta district and reflects the connection between industrial areas and the rest of the city. Many people use it daily to travel between residential neighborhoods and the center.

The bridge is accessible daily for pedestrians and drivers, connecting important commute routes between eastern neighborhoods and the city center. Visitors should be aware it gets busy during rush hours, so crossing it outside these times works best.

From its elevated position, the bridge offers views of the Vistula's constantly changing riverbanks and landscape. For those interested in tracking the transformation of eastern Kraków, this vantage point provides a good perspective on urban changes.
