Zwierzyniecka footbridge, Pedestrian bridge over the Oder River in Wrocław, Poland.
Zwierzyniecka footbridge is a modern crossing over the Oder that links the southern district with central Wrocław at approximately 232 meters in length. Its steel and glass design creates open sight lines across the river and city landscape.
The crossing was completed in 2014 as part of Wrocław's efforts to modernize its infrastructure and add new river connections. It represents the city's late-20th-century push to improve transport links.
The footbridge has become a gathering spot where locals cross while enjoying views and accessing waterfront events on both sides. It connects neighborhoods that would otherwise feel separate and encourages movement between them.
The footbridge has separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists with evening lighting for safe passage at all hours. Access is straightforward and there are no major barriers to crossing.
The transparent glass sections create a floating sensation while allowing views down into the river below. This design detail makes crossing a visual experience that differs from typical bridge structures.
