Most łyżwowy we Włocławku

The wooden and metal pontoon bridge stretched across the Vistula River, connecting the city center of Włocławek with Szpetal Dolny district for 637 meters.

Built in 1865 following Inspector Grzegorz Czerniawski's design, the bridge underwent multiple reconstructions after destructions in 1914, 1915, 1920, until its final dismantling in 1938.

The bridge represented a vital link for the local population, enabling the transport of food supplies and creating economic connections between different parts of the region.

The structure, supported by 80 pontoons with steel-angle frameworks and steel plating, measured 6 meters in width and accommodated both pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

The bridge's maintenance costs were initially covered by toll collection, with surplus funds directed toward repairs until the Ministry of Communications took control in 1871.
