Defenders of Modlin 1939 Bridge, Road bridge in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Poland.
Defenders of Modlin 1939 Bridge is a road viaduct spanning approximately 530 meters across the Vistula River with two lanes in each direction and pedestrian paths on both sides. It forms part of the S7 expressway that connects Warsaw to Gdansk.
The structure's name honors soldiers of Modlin Fortress who fought during the 1939 German invasion of Poland. This historical connection underscores how deeply local history is tied to the strategic value of crossing the Vistula.
The bridge links both sides of the Vistula and shapes daily life in the region. People passing across can see the historical Modlin Fortress and old storage buildings in the distance, landmarks that still define the local landscape.
The bridge carries constant traffic as part of a major expressway with trucks and cars passing frequently. Pedestrians can use the designated walkways, though expect significant noise from the busy road.
The bridge segments were manufactured at the Gdynia shipyard and transported by water through Gdansk Bay to reach the construction site. This unusual method was needed to move such massive components across long distances.
