3. Bishop Jordan Bridge
3. Bishop Jordan Bridge
The Cybina River bridge has been in place in one form or another since the times of Mieszko I. Over the centuries, the site saw an array of successive wooden and iron structures. Following the recent construction of an expressway, the bridge became redundant and was ultimately torn down. In 2007, Cathedral Island and the Śródka District were reconnected after prolonged separation. The bridge included a span from the former Saint Roch Bridge: moving it to its present site along the river bed and over the neighboring Mieszko I Bridge proved to be amajor feat of engineering. The Bridge is named after Poland's first bishop, whose seat was located in Poznań.
