Maurzyce Bridge, Steel bridge in Maurzyce, Poland
The Maurzyce Bridge spans 27 meters across the Słudwia River, featuring two main truss beams with a straight bottom chord and parabolic top chord.
Built in 1929 under Stefan Bryła's supervision, this structure became the first entirely welded road bridge and second welded bridge worldwide.
The bridge represents a milestone in Polish engineering, leading the country to establish the first national regulations for welded bridge construction.
Located near Łowicz in Łódź Voivodeship, the bridge now serves pedestrians after its relocation from its original position in 1977.
The welding technique used in construction reduced the bridge's weight and cost by 17 percent compared to traditional riveted structures of that period.
