The railway bridges over the River Oder at Küstrin, on the German-Polish border, were built in 1926. In the past, these bridges connected Berlin with East and West Prussia as part of the so-called Ostbahn. This railway is still important as a detour and alternative route for the Berlin – Warsaw route. But the old railway bridges are at the end of their technical life and out of service since the end of 2020. Therefore, they are replaced by a brand new bridge that completely spans the Oder.
