Road bridge in Tczew, Road bridge in Tczew, Poland

The road bridge in Tczew carries a steel truss across the Vistula on four surviving neo-Gothic brick towers with crenellated tops, two at each end. The original 1851–1857 structure was 837.3 m long; after the 1912 extension it reached 1030 m. Only three original spans and the four towers remain, listed as monuments in 2000.

Construction began in 1851 under King Frederick William IV of Prussia and was completed in 1857 to link Berlin with Eastern Prussia via railway. This connection proved vital for the region's economic and strategic development in the 1800s.

The bridge is known locally as the Lisewo bridge, after the village of Lisewo Malborskie that the road leads to directly. Its opening in 1857 passed without grand ceremonies because of a cholera epidemic and the king's illness. The designer Rudolf Eduard Schinz died of a heart attack during load tests and was buried in Tczew.

The structure is open to general traffic and offers a direct crossing between both riverbanks. Visitors should be aware that access may be restricted during maintenance or renovation work.

The bridge was listed by the American Society of Civil Engineers as an International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark, and only three original spans and four towers survive. Rudolf Eduard Schinz, who prepared the technical design, died of a heart attack during load testing and was buried in Tczew; his grave survived until the 1970s.
