Most Podgórski w Krakowie, Historical bridge connecting Kazimierz and Podgórze districts in Kraków, Poland

The bridge extended 145 meters across the Vistula River with five wooden spans supported by stone pillars and measured 6.8 meters in width.

Constructed between 1844 and 1850, the bridge incorporated stone from Dobczyce and larch wood from the Sandomierz region using steam-powered machinery from Gliwice.

The structure received its name from Emperor Franz Joseph I and formed a central part of Kraków's transportation network for 75 years.

The bridge facilitated gas pipeline installation to Podgórze in 1864 and supported tram lines connecting to the railway station from 1882.

Stone abutments from the original bridge remain on both riverbanks and now form part of the Kraków Technology Trail established in 2006.
