The steel bridge stretched 1058 meters across the Vistula River, featuring ten openings with half-parabolic main spans of 132 meters each.

Three German companies constructed the bridge between 1905 and 1909 as part of the Marienwerder-Schmentau railway line connecting eastern territories.

The bridge represented an engineering milestone in early 20th century European railway infrastructure, connecting communities across the Vistula River.

The structure carried both rail traffic and pedestrians until 1926, when railway operations ceased due to post-World War I border changes.

The bridge materials found new life in 1934 when workers repurposed its components to build the Pilsudski Bridge in Torun.
