General August Emil Fieldorf "Nil" Bridge

The General August Emil Fieldorf "Nil" Bridge is a road bridge over the Oder in the village of Łany, on the Eastern Ring Road of Wrocław. It previously bore the working name Siechnice-Łany Bridge.

A structure built without piers over the river

The bridge has a twin-girder box structure and is 286 metres long, with two traffic lanes, one in each direction. It was built using the cantilever method: both parts of the main span over the river's current were raised simultaneously from both abutments, without temporary support, and then joined over the water. The design was prepared by Piotr Wanecki, MSc Eng., of the design and consulting office BPK MOSTY, and the contractor was Skanska.

A new crossing on the eastern ring road

Before the bridge was put into use, the nearest road crossing of the Oder on this stretch was the Grunwaldzki Bridge in Wrocław. Since 2 August 2017, under an order of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, provincial road no. 372 has run across the bridge.
