Elisabeth Bridge, Steel suspension bridge in Budapest, Hungary
The Elisabeth Bridge stretches 378 meters across the Danube River, connecting the Pest city center with the Gellért Hill through its white steel structure.
German forces destroyed the original 1903 bridge during World War II, leading to its complete reconstruction and reopening with a modern design in 1964.
The bridge bears the name of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, commemorating her influence on Hungarian society and her connection to Budapest.
The structure carries three lanes of vehicular traffic in each direction, with separate pedestrian walkways positioned outside the supporting cables.
The bridge pillars contain camera obscura openings that project colorful images of passing traffic onto their interior walls through natural light.
