This plan came under opposition from locals, Silesian Monument Conserver, and The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage, all wanting the bridge to be considered a historical monument.
The local government wanted to destroy only part of the bridge and rebuild it as a tourist destination.
Previously, Mission: Impossible 7 came under fire for allegedly working with Polish government officials to blow up one of their bridges for a scene in the movie.
The old bridge, built-in 1909, is considered structurally unsound and decommissioned in 2016.
