M43 Tisza bridge, Road bridge near Szeged, Hungary.
The M43 Tisza Bridge is a road crossing spanning the Tisza River near Szeged with a cable-stayed design supported by a single pylon. The structure stretches across approximately 661 meters and carries two lanes of traffic linking the city with the border region to the east.
The bridge was built as part of the M43 motorway project to improve connectivity between Hungary and Romania, completing construction in 2015. The work represents a significant development in regional transportation infrastructure and allowed faster passage across the river.
The bridge design incorporates elements reflecting traditional crane wells from the regional landscape, connecting modern engineering with local architectural heritage.
The crossing features two separate carriageways and is regulated by standard Hungarian motorway traffic rules. Travelers should stay in designated lanes and expect slower traffic during wet weather or periods of heavy use.
The single pylon of the bridge has an unusual geometric shape that appears different depending on the time of day and lighting conditions. This distinctive silhouette makes the structure easily recognizable as a landmark along the motorway route.
