Tips from the Community
The new bridge made of composite elements was built in place of the old wooden one. It is scheduled to be put into service in February 2025.

Currently (May 2025) the bridge has been renovated, i.e. in perfect condition. As for the observation tower - the maps were telling the truth, because there was a tower here. Unfortunately - it was destroyed and dismantled a few years ago. Driving towards the bridge from the south, about 100 meters before the bridge, to the left of the road there are concrete foundations (maybe I'll find photos...).

A monument to the actress and cabaret artist, which has been located in the revitalized Old Market Square since June 12, 2023. Previously, it was located on Farna Street, at the intersection of Dworna and Stary Rynek Streets. It commemorates Hanka Bielicka, who spent almost the entire period of her childhood and youth in the Second Polish Republic in Łomża.

Referring to the above suggestion, in my opinion it could be like this. The Green Velo Eastern Bike Trail is marked along its entire length with metal signs in a characteristic orange color. In addition to these signs, however, you will encounter other signs and boards on Green Velo. The basic, square R-4 sign measuring 20x20 cm shows the course of the trail and confirms it after the intersection. In the central place of the sign, a bicycle symbol is placed, and directly below it is the colored logo of the trail. Additionally, the trail has several connecting routes marked, allowing access to communication hubs and more important tourist attractions near the trail. They, in turn, are marked with a miniature version of the trail logo in black (mono) and an assigned ordinal number. The first digit of the number corresponds to the province where the route begins, and the next two digits are the route identifier: Warmia-Masuria Province: 101, 102, etc., Podlaskie Province: 201, 202, 203, etc., Lublin Province: 301, 302, 303, etc., Podkarpackie Province: 501, 502, 503, etc., Świętokrzyskie Province: 501, 502, 503, etc. https://greenvelo.pl/67 More information about the Green Velo Trail markings in the link above.

I think that if you add an attraction and give it a name, the directions should refer specifically to that attraction and not to other places, like in this case the description is about a landscape park, the title is the Green Velo trail and the photos? Exactly, and how can you be guided by such "attractions"?

There are nice views from the bridge. Under the bridge there is a small wild beach. You can see fish in the water.
