Újpest railway bridge, Railway bridge in northern Budapest, Hungary.

The Újpest railway bridge extends 673.4 meters across the Danube River, consisting of seven spans to carry the Budapest-Esztergom railway line.

Built in 1896, the bridge required reconstruction after its destruction in 1945 during World War II, when German forces demolished the original structure.

The bridge represents an engineering milestone in Hungarian transportation infrastructure, connecting communities on both sides of the Danube for over a century.

Modern trains crossing the bridge maintain a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour due to the curved track configuration near the approaches.

The bridge utilizes military materials from the post-war period in its temporary construction, which remained functional until permanent repairs were completed.
