Notes

The Pulawy Bridge is named after the last president of the inter-war Poland, Ignacy Moscicki, and was opened in 1934. Nor very long (436 m) the bridge is also not particularly narrow (12 m), though because of the framework the lane width is definitely a problem. Some huge trucks do not enter the bridge if there is another one approaching from the opposite direction, some have to close their side-mirrors and still manage to avoid collision just by centimeters. Unfortunately, the traffic is very heavy here - the bridge connects the city of Lublin (and the border crossing with Ukraine) with central Poland. Another bridge is being planned in Pulawy. The Easternmost bridge on Vistula.
