Gubacsi Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Budapest, Hungary
Gubacsi Bridge is a road-rail structure that spans the Danube in Budapest. The northern section carries rail traffic on a single track, while the southern portion handles regular road vehicles.
The structure was completed in 1924 under architect Béla Zsigmondy's supervision. After being destroyed during World War II, it was rebuilt in 1947 to restore traffic links.
The bridge links communities on Csepel Island and enables movement between residential neighborhoods and industrial areas. You can see how daily life depends on this crossing for people who use it to get around this part of Budapest.
The northern section is used for rail freight transport, while the southern part is for vehicles. Visitors crossing this bridge should be aware of the active traffic on both sides.
The structure was originally designed to replace an older dam from the 1870s, fundamentally changing how the island was connected. This shift from water control to modern transportation reflects how the location adapted to new needs.
