Grunwald Bridge is a suspension bridge in Wroclaw over the Oder River. Grunwald Bridge is one of Poland's longest bridges: 112 meters long, 18 meters wide, and weighing 2.3 tons. It was built of steel, brick, and granite.

The construction of the bridge took place from 1908 to 1910. Initially, the bridge was named Imperial. Later it was renamed the Freedom Bridge. The project was created by the German architect Richard Pludemann. The inauguration of the bridge took place on October 10, 1910, in Emperor Wilhelm II.

The bridge construction's main purpose is to connect the city center with the micro districts under construction in the north-east of Wroclaw.
During World War II, The Grunwald Bridge suffered significant damage. Repairs were carried out for almost two years. In September 1947, the bridge was reopened for traffic. Some of the structures were replaced with new ones. During the renovation, technically more advanced solutions were used.

Currently, tram tracks have been laid across the bridge, and the Polish national highway number 8 also passes.
