Kossuth Bridge, Győr, Road bridge across Moson-Danube in Győr, Hungary
Kossuth Bridge spans the Moson-Danube river in Győr, connecting different parts of the city with a steel and concrete structure. The crossing stretches about 129 meters and forms an arched design over the waterway.
The bridge was designed and built between 1926 and 1928 by engineers Joseph Beke and Joseph Déri, replacing an earlier wooden-steel structure. After being destroyed in 1945, it was reconstructed in 1947 with modifications to its design.
The bridge carries the name of Lajos Kossuth, a Hungarian political figure from the 1800s who was important to the nation's independence movement. Locals and visitors recognize this name as part of their city's connection to major historical figures.
The bridge accommodates both vehicle and pedestrian traffic and is part of the EuroVelo 6 cycling route connecting multiple European countries. It serves as a useful crossing point to traverse the city on foot, by bicycle, or by car.
After World War II, the destroyed bridge was not rebuilt as an exact replica but was reconstructed with practical improvements to its design. These changes remain visible in the details of the structure for those who look closely.
