Road bridge in Tczew, Road bridge in Tczew, Poland
The steel bridge stretches over 1052 meters across the Vistula River, featuring six spans supported by massive stone pillars topped with yellow brick towers.
Construction of the bridge began in 1851 under King Frederick William IV of Prussia and completed in 1857, connecting Berlin with Eastern Prussia through the railway line.
The bridge portals displayed relief sculptures showing the inauguration ceremony with King Frederick William IV, Minister von der Heydt, and engineers Lentze and Schinz.
The structure serves as a vital transportation link between both banks of the Vistula River, connecting local communities and supporting regional economic development.
Engineers discovered a time capsule and cornerstone from 1851 during renovation works in April 2019, containing documents from the initial construction period.
