Korongi Bridge, Cable-stayed viaduct in Letenye, Hungary
The Korongi Bridge is a cable-stayed viaduct that crosses the M7 motorway near Letenye. The structure spans about 116 meters total, with two main openings of roughly 52 and 62 meters each, and the roadway is about 16 meters wide.
The bridge opened in September 2004 and marked an important milestone in Hungarian road construction. It was the country's first cable-stayed bridge of this type at the time, representing a new step forward in local infrastructure.
The name Korongi comes from local dialect and refers to a circular forest that once stood in the area. The bridge connects two parts of the region in a way that honors the historical identity of the location.
The bridge is easy to locate as it crosses the main M7 motorway and is marked with standard road signs. Visitors should note this is an active traffic route and access may be restricted.
The bridge design uses an innovative structural approach with fewer supports than traditional bridges of similar span. The pylons rise about 10 meters above the deck, creating a striking silhouette for this busy highway crossing.
