The bridge features a single H-shaped pylon that supports both bridge decks via two planes of cable stays.
The 122-meter pylon is the tallest bridge structure in Poland.
The bridge carries the A8 motorway over the Oder River and the floodplains of the Rędziński Forest.
The total length of 1,742 meters makes it one of the longest concrete bridges in Poland.
The construction was completed in 2011, just in time to serve as a transport node for Euro 2012 matches held in Wrocław.
The design uses a high-strength concrete C60/75 mix to achieve the necessary durability for the pylon.
The pylon is anchored on a foundation that descends deep into the alluvial soil of the Oder valley.
Most Rędziński is a concrete cable-stayed bridge spanning the Oder River in Wrocław, serving as a vital link in the A8 Autostrada Obwodnica Wrocławia (AOW). It holds the record for the highest bridge pylon in Poland at 122 meters. The structure utilizes a single, central pylon design that supports two separate decks for traffic in opposite directions. It spans a total length of 1,742 meters, with the main cable-stayed section measuring 612 meters. Opened in 2011, it is a key component of the city's western bypass infrastructure. The bridge is primarily an engineering landmark rather than a pedestrian-accessible tourist destination, though it is a prominent visual feature for those traveling through the region.

The bridge is part of an active motorway; there are no sidewalks or pedestrian areas for public use on the main span.
Use the nearby bicycle paths in the Rędziński area to reach observation points that are safer and offer better photo angles.
Do not attempt to stop or exit your vehicle on the motorway bridge, as this is strictly prohibited and dangerous.
