3. Conclusions
Recent bridges by VFT method in Poland are presented in the paper and trends are high-
lighted on the background of solutions being used during the last decade. The system is very
flexible concerning possible static schemes and the fabrication technology of girders. One
can notice that the most common solution for Polish VFT bridges is construction of prefab-
ricated elements next to the construction site, but an example of S7 road with 17 bridges
being realized in different way proves, that it can change towards the solution that is used
in Germany (full prefabrication and transport of composite prefabricates on site). The VFT
technology is used in Poland for road bridges nowadays because not so many contracts for
railway bridges appeared in the last years to be suitable for VFT method. However, the im-
plementation of VFT-WIB technology for two railway bridges in Poland (including the first
implementation in the world) proves that in future the VFT method will be probably applied
for railway bridges also.
