Rędziński Bridge in Wrocław—The Largest Concrete Cable-Stayed Bridge in Poland

Abstract This paper describes the largest structure along the motorway ring road of Wrocław (Poland)—a cable-stayed bridge over the Odra River near Rędzin barrage. The river flows there in its main bed, while inland navigation uses additional water channels. Pylon of the new bridge is situated on an island located between the river and the channels. The structure is 1742 m long and consists of two multi-span flyovers and a 612-m-long cable-stayed bridge with separate decks suspended to one 122-m-high pylon. The superstructure consists of two prestressed concrete box girders, one for each carriageway of the highway. The decks of the main bridge are suspended to a reinforced concrete pylon by 80 pairs of stay cables. The bridge with a deck area of approximately 65 000 m2 was constructed within 36 months.
