Poland,[1] connecting its Mokotów, Praga Południe and Wawer districts (Siekierki, Augustówka, Gocław and Las neighborhoods), belonging to a wider expressway route, i.e. Siekierki Way.[2] The bridge is 500 m (1,600 ft) long[1] and 33.38 m (110 ft) wide,[2] with three lanes for vehicles, a pavement and a cycle path each way.[citation needed] The structure is supported by two H-pylons,[1] each 87.07 m (286 ft) high.[2]
