Popis: The road and railway infrastructure in Poland has been intensively developed and modernized for the last years. Around 300 new bridges are built annually. Among the new structures, there is a group of modern extradosed bridges. This paper presents examples of short-, medium-, and long-span extradosed bridges designed and built in recent years in Poland. The following structures are described in details: (1) the first Polish extradosed bridge; (2) two-span landmark viaduct over motorway; (3) multi-span curved motorway bridge; (4) the longest Polish extradosed bridge; (5) tramway extradosed bridge; and (6) conceptual designs. The paper is concluded with geometrical parameters characterizing presented structures. The parameters are compared with values obtained for cable-stayed bridges and extradosed bridges built worldwide.
