The beginnings of the present 11 Listopada Street, and the bridge over the Biała River belonging to it, date back to the mid-18th century, when a new road was marked out, whose task was to connect Bielsko with the Biała Market Square - the present Wojska Polskiego Square.
At the end of the 18th century, the road was incorporated into the imperial, Middle-Galician road connecting Biała with Lviv and was given the name Hauptstraße - Główna.
In the same period, a new truss bridge was built in place of the old wooden bridge. The bridge existed until February 1945 and was blown up by the retreating German troops. The old truss bridge was never rebuilt.
Due to the fact that the Biała River over the centuries was a border between principalities, states and cities, the bridge was a border bridge for many years.
In the years 1457-1526, the river was the border between Biała, which belonged to the Kingdom of Poland, and Bielsko, which was part of the Czech Kingdom, which in 1526 was incorporated into the Austrian state. As a result of these activities, the bridge over the Biała River functioned as a border bridge between the Polish and Austrian states for the next 200 years.
In 1772, after the first partition of Poland, Biała and Bielsko found themselves in one country for the first time - Austria. From then on, until Poland regained independence, the border between Galicia and Austrian Silesia ran across the bridge.
After Poland regained independence, the bridge was the border between the cities of Bielsko and Biała, and thus between the Śląskie and Kraków voivodships. This border ceased to exist on January 1, 1951, when the cities were merged into one - Bielsko-Biała.
