The Holy Cross Bridge (Polish: most Świętokrzyski) is a bridge over the Vistula river in Warsaw, Poland linking Powiśle neighborhood with Praga Północ district.

It is a cable-stayed bridge, 479 m long, with two lanes for vehicles, a pavement and a cycle path each way. The single tower, 90 m high, located on the right (eastern) river bank, has 48 cables attached supporting the deck. Near the left (western) bank the bridge is supported by two piers. The bridge was opened on 6 October 2000 after two years' construction.

The bridge's name comes from the Świętokrzyska Street, which forms part of the access route from the city center.

According to the data from Zarząd Dróg Miejskich (Capital City Road Authority) in 2018, on average 23,418 vehicles passed the Świętokrzyski Bridge daily.[1]
