Olszowa Street is a street in the Praga-Północ district of Warsaw, Poland. Its origins date back to the late 18th century. For much of its history, it ran parallel to the Vistula river toward a bridge, initially the Poniński Bridge at its southern end, and later the Kierbedź Bridge and Silesian–Dąbrowa Bridge at its northern end. Until the end of the Second Polish Republic, the street was lined with military buildings. The tracks of the Jabłonna Railway ran along the street, with the Warszawa Most railway station located nearby. After World War II, the street was significantly shortened, and later it absorbed Dębowa Street, becoming largely perpendicular to the river in most of its course.

Solidarności 52 in Warsaw. It opened in 1869, serving the needs of a growing community of Russians settling in the area of present-day Praga Północ.

Śląsko-Dąbrowski Bridge is a bridge over the Vistula River in Warsaw. It was built from 1947 to 1949 on the pillars which remained from the Kierbedzia Bridge which had been destroyed in World War II. Due to the bridge's completely different structure, it is recognized as a new bridge, not a rebuilt one. The name of the bridge commemorates the contribution of regions of Silesia and the Dąbrowa Basin in the reconstruction of the capital after the devastation of World War II. The bridge is an integral portion of the Warsaw W-Z Route main thoroughfare that, from 22 July, 1949, joined Praga in the east (one of Warsaw's least destroyed districts during World War II) with the city center, going through Muranów and out to Wola in the west. Unlike most of the Warsaw tram tracks, trams on this bridge originally shared the bridge space with cars. In 2007, due to increased tram traffic along Route WZ during the modernization of tram routes on another major thoroughfare, Aleje Jerozolimskie, the tramway was separated from the roadway. This separation has continued even after traffic returned to normal and since 2009 the tramway also serves as a bus lane, significantly shortening travel times for public transport in the area. The bridge has been renovated regularly including from 1992 to 1993 and in 2009. There are plaques on the bridge commemorating events that took place on the older Kierbedzia Bridge: for Zbigniew Gęsicki (aka Juno) and Kazimierz Sott (aka Sokół - Falcon), who were participants in the Home Army's assassination of Franz Kutschera in 1944. They had fled from the Germans and jumped from the bridge into the Vistula River where they were either drowned or shot to commemorate fighting on the bridge on 13 and 14 September, 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising
