On Sunday, 4th October, Kraków's newest Wisła crossing, the long awaited Kazimierz–Ludwinów footbridge opened.
I was there to film the final preparations, a pre-opening tour of the bridge, drone footage and the opening ceremony.
The article has 2 videos; video of the opening ceremony, and a drone film, along with background on the 2 decade long project.
The pedestrian middle span - a "sinusoidal" (wave-like) design -has a short lower section, close to the water, and rises 16m (53ft) above the water level, to a view point, complete with benches, to enjoy views of the river and surroundings.
If you’re interested in the back story to the 20 year saga and an in-depth architectural perspective of the controversial - (I like it!) - bridge, I recommend the ‘AB’ feature linked to in my article
