Balsai Tisza-híd, Combined road and railway bridge in Kenézlő, Hungary.
Balsai Tisza-híd is a combined road and railway bridge crossing the Tisza River near Kenézlő. It carries both automobile and train traffic across separate sections of the structure spanning roughly 580 meters.
The bridge was originally built in 1940 as a railway-only crossing. In 1958, modifications were made to add road traffic capability and create its current dual-purpose function.
The bridge represents Hungarian engineering practices, integrating transportation needs through a combination of rail and road infrastructure.
Traffic lights control the flow of vehicles and trains, allowing passage from only one direction at a time. Visitors should expect occasional delays and watch for signal changes when crossing the bridge.
The bridge features specialized expansion joints with TENSA-FINGER components that accommodate movements up to 80 millimeters. This modern equipment installed in 2018 prevents damage from thermal stress and the weight of passing traffic.
