an iron bridge erected in 1861 in Wroc?aw, over the southern branch of the Oder River, entered in the register of immovable monuments of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It is the initial part of the route leading from the medieval city to the north. It is an element of the oldest Oder river crossing in Wroc?aw, the northern section of which is made up of the M?y?skie Bridges. The bridge is relatively narrow, the carriageway is less than six and a half meters long and there are two opposite lanes of vehicular traffic and a two-way tram line. Walkways are located on the outside of the bridge girders.At the Piaskowy Bridge, at the intersection of ul. Holy Spirit and Piaskowa in the past, Brama Piaskowa was located. The name of this bridge, as well as the street and the gate, derives from the name of Wyspa Piasek, which in turn - from the name of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Piasek (borrowed from the Roman Latin church, the name Sancta Maria in Arena, with the modification consisting in translating "arena" into " sand"). In the vicinity of the Piaskowy Bridge there was one of the most important squares of medieval international trade and the Old Town Promenade ends.
