Nakielska Street is an important street in Bydgoszcz, Poland. It starts from downtown settlements to the limits of the city towards Nakło nad Notecią.
Nakielska street extends east-west, from Grunwaldzka roundabout and junction with Focha Street to the intersection with Łochowska street near the western border of Bydgoszcz. Its length is about 5.4 km. The street is one of the main thoroughfares leading to the center of Bydgoszcz, connecting the western neighborhoods of the city situated on the south side of Bydgoszcz Canal.
Nakielska Street is an old road connecting Bydgoszcz to Nakło nad Notecią on the west of the city. An early 19th century map of Bromberg shows a path roughly matching today's street, which runs through the several estates: Wilczak, Miedzyń and the "Prondy colony". The path then led through Łochowo, Gorzeń,a bridge on Bydgoszcz Canal's 9th lock to Nakło nad Notecią.
A 1857 map of Bydgoszcz shows the path beginning at the intersection with Holy Trinity Street (then Berliner Strasse) next to the bridge over the canal, then entering the western suburban city of Prinzenthal. In 1872, a railway viaduct was built over the street for the line to Inowrocław (in 1897, the line extended to Żnin and, in 1908, to Poznań). After Bydgoszcz returning to Polish territory in 1920, suburban area, including Prinzenthal (today's Wilczak and Miedzyń) have been incorporated into the city administrative limits, making Nakielska street almost entirely part of Bydgoszcz. The final part was "acquired" during city border changes in 1954.
