Located in the center of Bydgoszcz, the street stretches east-west from the intersection with Gdańska Street to Grunwaldska roundabout. Its is approximately 1.1 km long. To the west, it joins with Nakielska street in Bydgoszcz, and with Jagiellońska street to the east.

Appellation

The street bore the following names throughout history:[1]

History

Focha street is one of the key routes in Bydgoszcz, since the first half of 19th century. Previously, the apth was a dirt road leading from the Old Carmelite Monastery to meadows bordering the Brda river, which were owned by the monastery. This course is clearly visible on the oldest plan of Bydgoszcz, realized by the Swedish quartermaster Erik Dahlbergh in 1657.[2] Without any bridge to the west to cross the river, the street ended along the waterfront, with a diverging path leading to Koronowo and Nakło nad Notecią - today Dworcowa Street in Bydgoszcz- until 1850.

In 1774, the construction of the Bydgoszcz Canal required the building of a city lock and a causeway leading to Mill Island, which allowed the crossing of the Brda River in the continuity to the west of the axis. The road then gained in traffic, as being also used for towing boats along the Bydgoszcz Canal.

In the second half of the 19th century, the eastern tip of the street became connected with the new administrative center of the city, with the erection in 1836 of the Governemental seat of the Prussian region in Jagiellońska street. In Focha street were built in the 1860s tenements for local garrison personnel.[3] Real estate cadastral files of Bromberg from 1878 reveals that a southern frontage of houses stood in the area from Theatre square to the Opera Nova. On the northern bank of the Brda river stood a military casino (from 1869) on the corner of the street. The villa of the president of the Prussian region was located at the level of today's N°25, together with garrison lodgings: in the same area was standing lock N°2 - Template:Lang-pl- on the old Bydgoszcz Canal (now the plot at the intersection with Grottger Street). The area in the bend of the Brda were occupied by military buildings, including the city's largest granaries, the Royal Granaries. To the west of lock N°2, the axis was called Channel street (Template:Lang-de), and winded along the Bydgoszcz Canal. At the level of today's Higher School of Economics was standing a bridge crossing the canal over lock N°2.[1]

From 1885 to 1890, new bridges have been buit:

  • Wilhelmsbrücke, renamed after 1920 Jagiellonska Bridge over the Brda river ;
  • Hafenbrücke, renamed after 1920 Port Bridge.

Both had a steel structure, with a wide roadway, sidewalks and gas lighting. Today, both bridges comprise Solidarnosc Bridge. With this construction, the street assumed a critical character in the city, linking western suburbs (Okole, Wilczak) with downtown. At the time, the street was used as a route march military parade, together with Gdańska Street and Mostowa street). During interwar period, Focha Street did not extend to the west further than the intersection with Trinity Street (Template:Lang-pl).

During World War II, Solidarnosc Bridge was destroyed: it has been since rebuilt several times (1939, 1945, 1950s). It has now a reinforced concrete structure.

Władysław IV Bridge in 1911

After the war, the increased traffic required an expansion of Focha street. In the 1970s, a urban traffic renovation modernized Focha street to the west of Brda with a dual carriageway on both side of the tram track. Part of this program led to the controversial filling of approximately one kilometre of the old Bydgoszcz Canal, together with the destruction of two locks (N°2 at Świętej Trójcy street and N°3 at Grunwaldzka street).[4] and the demolition of stone Władysław IV bridge.[5] At the beginning of the 1980s, in order to renovate the tramway line, last pieces of Focha street's old granite pavement has been recovered with asphalt.[6] Last renovation of the street occurred in 2010-2012, to integrate the new tram tracks from the train station at the intersection with Kordecki and Queen Jadwiga streets: it encompassed also the street section from Theatre Square to Solidarnosc bridge.

Means of transportation

Tram tracks on Focha street were built in 1905. The line has been extended to the west, from Theatre Square to Nakielska street, becoming the third line electrically powered in the city (line "C" blue, in 1901). In 1904, this line has been extended eastward to Bartodzieje district.[7] In 1957, a second tram track has been built, and in the 1972-1974, while building the Grunwaldzka roundabout, a double-track tram line in the western part of Focha street has been layed to the roundabout.[8] Currently, tram lines N° 1, 3, 5 and 8 pass through Focha street.

The street is one of the busiest traffic thoroughfares in Bydgoszcz. Traffic measures realized in 2006 showed that during peak periods approximately 2000 vehicles pass every hour.[9]
