Bochnia Chodenice-Damienice bridge maintenance

Overview

Authorities in Bochnia have been addressing the deteriorating condition of the wooden suspension bridge over the Raba River, which connects the villages of Chodenice and Damienice. Concerns regarding the structure’s safety were initially raised by local officials, noting that the bridge “threatens the safety of travelers.”

In response to the structural issues and footage showing missing planks, the municipal office has conducted routine inspections and performed immediate repairs to fill gaps in the decking. While the city has maintained usage limits—such as a 20-person capacity and a ban on motor vehicles—officials have moved toward long-term solutions. Following technical inspections and cost estimates, the city administration has announced plans to propose a full renovation of the crossing in the 2027 municipal budget.
