Pęgowski Bridge

Pęgowski Bridge carries Pęgowska street over the Widawa river, north of the Świniary estate. It lies within the boundaries of Wrocław - the city's border with the Wisznia Mała municipality runs just past the bridge, near the village of Szewce.

Origin of the name

The bridge's name does not come from the nearest settlement. It refers to the village of Pęgów, to which the same voivodeship road no. 342 continues for another 15 kilometres, already within the Oborniki Śląskie municipality. The bridge itself stands at the 10th kilometre of this route, so despite its name it lies entirely within Wrocław, not in the Oborniki Śląskie municipality.

Construction

The bridge was built in 1933. It is 50 metres long and 9 metres wide, of which 6 metres is taken up by the carriageway, with two pavements 1.4 and 1.7 metres wide running along the sides. The structure consists of three spans resting on reinforced concrete girders, with a bituminous surface.
