Most Unii Europejskiej, Road bridge in Konin, Poland
The Most Unii Europejskiej is a modern bridge spanning the Warta River in Konin, connecting different parts of the city. The structure extends over 3400 meters with approach viaducts and serves as a vital transportation link along national road 25.
This cable-stayed bridge was completed in December 2007 and marked a major infrastructure milestone for the city. European funding covered most of the construction costs, supporting Konin's urban development during the 2000s.
The bridge's name, European Union Bridge, reflects Poland's membership in the EU and marks the country's commitment to regional growth. Locals associate it with the infrastructure improvements that came with European integration.
The bridge functions as a key connection in the road network, linking different parts of the city directly. Visitors can best explore it on foot or by vehicle when crossing the Warta River.
The design by Adam Nadolny uses cable-stayed engineering, a modern approach at the time that distinguished it from traditional river crossings. This construction method allows for an elegant span without intermediate supports in the water.
