A lightweight, prefabricated bridge, easily assembled without the use of cranes. Its design was developed by Donald Bailey, a British civil servant, during World War II. Bridges of this type were widely used during the war, replacing blown-up permanent crossings. Many of these bridges still span rivers around the world. They are also common in Poland, and one of them is located here, on the Drawa River.
