Bridge to the Castle Hill

Map: Bridge to the Castle Hill
The new bridge leads to the Castle Hill from the south. It replaced the old truss footbridge which was located in the exact same place. The new bridge was built in 2014, using prefabricated elements KUJAN NG (new generation) supported on reinforced-concrete abutments. It allows heavy trucks such as ambulances or firetrucks to enter the Castle Hill.

      The road bridge between Sieradz and Woźniki is one of the most important bridges in this area, considering its strategic importance. Because of that it was destroyed in 1939. During its reconstruction it was equipped with mine cells and bunkers in the abutments. In 1945 three central spans were blown up. Existing bridge is a continuous gerber beam consisting of nine spans.

      The construction of expressway S8 near Sieradz required a huge road bridge to be erected over Warta river. The construction of the bridge started in 2012 and the bridge was opened in 2014. Three main spans were built using balanced cantilever method. Central span of the main bridge is 100 m long, two outer spans are 70 m long. The total length of the bridge is 946 m.
