The construction of a new bridge was planned as early as 1913 to relieve the Ernest Malinowski Bridge, which was also used by road traffic at the time. Due to a lack of financial resources, the construction could only be started in 1927 by using elements of the no longer needed Vistula bridge near Marienwerder. The bridge built by the German Reich had become useless after the First World War due to the formation of the Polish corridor, because rail traffic on the Marienwerder – Schmentau line was stopped after the new borders were drawn. Marienwerder was in German East Prussia, but the bridge and the western side of the Vistula were on Polish soil in what was formerly West Prussia. The Polish Ministry of Public Works therefore decided in 1927 to dismantle the bridge and use the girders for the new bridge in Toruń. This bridge was now deemed urgently needed because Toruń became the capital of the newly established Pomeranian Voivodeship (Województwo pomorskie) and the city was growing rapidly. With the bridge, the districts on the left bank of the Vistula, where Toruń Główny, the city's main train station, is located, could be better accessed. The road could also be expanded to the south.
