Władysław Tryliński

He is best known for the creation of trylinka, the hexagonal concrete block widely used for pavements and embankments in interwar Poland, and the engineering design of the Maurzyce Bridge, the world's first entirely welded road bridge—a credit he shared with construction engineer Stefan Bryła.

[4] During the First World War, he directed road works for the army in Chișinău and Pskov with the rank of general from 1915 to 1917.

[2] In 1929, together with construction engineer Stefan Bryła, Tryliński gained wide recognition for the engineering design of the Maurzyce Bridge, the world's first entirely welded road bridge, built across the Słudwia River in Maurzyce near Łowicz, Poland.

It was mass-produced and used on an extensive scale in the construction of roads in interwar Poland, owing to its durability, low cost and ease of manufacture—eventually becoming a synonym for the sidewalks paved with them.

[1] Tryliński died in Warsaw at age 77 and was buried at Powązki Cemetery in Wola district of the city.
