Ozimek Suspension Bridge (Poland)
From Graces Guide
The Ozimek Suspension Bridge (Polish: Most wiszący w Ozimku) crosses the Mała Panew River.
Constructed between 1825 and 1827. Extensive renovation was carried out between July 2009 and September 2010, when the entire bridge was taken apart, refurbished and reassembled, strengthened with steel cables.[1]
For a good account of the bridge and its context, see here[2], which describes it as the oldest surviving suspension bridge with a chain structure suspended on openwork iron pylons. The ironwork was produced by the Huta Małapanew - Malapane Iron and Steel Works - in Ozimek.
