[1] He used his earlier design of a riveted bridge, which Bryła and Wenczesław Poniż converted to use the new construction method.

[1] As the task of building such a structure was considered extremely risky, the K. Rudzki i S-ka Company was chosen as the main contractor, fabricator and builder.

[4] Established in 1853, in late 19th and early 20th century the company was the only firm in the entire Russian Empire to construct difficult bridges in remote locations.

[5] The elements were manufactured by the K. Rudzki i S-ka factory in Mińsk Mazowiecki and then welded into place on the spot.

[1] Despite welding being much more expensive than time-consuming riveting, the overall bridge cost was much lower, in large part due to 17% less steel needed to build it and shorter construction time.

However, as it proved too narrow,[6] in 1977 it was moved some 20 metres to the north, closed to traffic,[7] and a new replacement was built in its place.

[9] At the cost of 800,000 zł the steel construction was cleaned of rust and repainted silver, and the road surface was replaced with a granite sett.
