Petőfi Bridge, Steel truss bridge in Budapest, Hungary
The Petőfi Bridge extends 378 meters across the Danube River, connecting the districts of Pest and Buda with its dual-lane roadway structure.
Following its initial construction in 1937, German forces destroyed the bridge during World War II, leading to its complete reconstruction and reopening in 1952.
The bridge received its name from Sándor Petőfi, a Hungarian poet who influenced the 1848 revolution through his nationalistic literary works.
The structure carries daily traffic between Budapest University of Technology and Economics on the Buda side and Boráros Square on the Pest side.
The bridge features a width of 25.6 meters and incorporates separate lanes for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists across its steel framework.
