Main Points
The construction of a new bridge over the Oder River near Ciechowice and Grzegorzowice is proceeding on schedule. The project, which replaces the existing ferry crossing on the provincial road 421, was awarded to STRABAG Infrastruktura Południe. The contract was signed in January 2024 and the contractor has 36 months to complete the work. The total cost of the investment is 350.8 million Polish zloty. The new bridge will be 630 metres long, with a total span of 633.6 metres and 13 piers ranging from 40 to 50 metres in width. It will form part of a 2.7 km section of road 421. In addition to the bridge, the project includes a new road segment, a roundabout, sidewalks, pedestrian‑and‑bicycle paths, bus bays, lighting, drainage, and environmental protection measures. The current ferry service, which has operated since the post‑war period, is considered a tourist attraction but is inconvenient for residents because it does not run at very low or very high water levels and operates only during limited hours (6:00‑17:30 on weekdays and 9:30‑17:00 on Sundays from 1 October to 31 May). The new bridge is expected to improve daily traffic for local residents and transit traffic in the Silesian Voivodeship. The bridge project received a grant of more than 270 million zloty from the Government Road Development Fund. The new structure will replace the narrow crossing that was destroyed by German sappers in spring 1945 to slow the advance of Soviet troops. The only remnants of the old bridge are the abutments on both banks of the Oder. Article source: Rzeczpospolita | Image credit: Rzeczpospolita
