The article lists the first applications of the Joseph Monier patent for the construction of reinforced concrete bridges that took place on the Polish lands. The history of the construction of Monier reinforced concrete arch bridges by Biuro Techniczne Arnold Bronikowski & S-ka Inżynierowie in the Kingdom of Poland was described on the basis of written sources, iconography, literature and current records. In particular, these included the bridge on the pond in the Ujazdów Park in Warsaw, the Reformacki Bridge on the Rypinowski Canal in Kalisz, the bridge over the Czechówka River in Lublin and the viaduct along the Karowa Street in Warsaw. The basic technical parameters of these constructions, dates of implementation and current status were specified. The life and professional achievements of engineer Arnold Bronikowski were presented in the context of his constructions, both beautiful and innovative at the time. Three of the engineering objects described in the article survived the ravages of war and remain in use today.

The article presents the problems of building and maintaining urban transport infrastructure in Warsaw at the turn of the 20th century. The text concerns Kajetan Mościcki (1855–1933), engineer, who was appointed by the acting Mayor of Warsaw, General Sokrates Starynkiewicz, to the position of senior city engineer and head of the municipal construction department, where he worked from 1889 to 1909. During this period, he paved the streets which were worn or damaged by sewerage works with wooden blocks and covered the sidewalks with concrete slabs. He designed the first slip road in the Kingdom of Poland in the form of a spiral, and he also participated in the construction of the oldest road engineering structures made of reinforced concrete, located in Ujazdowski Park and on Karowa street in Warsaw, the first Warsaw power plant and the second city bridge across the Vistula. In addition to his professional activity, Kajetan Mościcki was an inventor in the fields of mechanics and electrical engineering. At the end of his life, he founded an award that the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences was to grant to Polish scientists for outstanding achievements.
