Location

The historic pillars of the Citadel Bridge are a foundation for the Gdański Bridge

It opened on 31 July 1959 after three years of construction. It has two decks: the upper deck carries a four-lane road with sidewalks, while the lower one has two tram tracks, a cycle lane and a footpath.

The bridge was built upon the supports of the Citadel Rail Bridge which had been destroyed during World War II.

In 1997-1998 the bridge underwent reconstruction. It was painted green and the lower level was fitted with colour bulbs for illumination at night.
