Connective Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Budapest, Hungary
Description
The Connective Railway Bridge spans 477 meters across the Danube, linking Ferencváros and Kelenföld stations through a structure supported by three main pillars. The bridge carries trains on a single track across its full length.
History
The original structure was built in 1877, replaced in 1913 due to wear, and rebuilt in 1953 after wartime damage. Each reconstruction reflected the engineering capabilities of its era.
Culture
The bridge displays engineering methods from the 1800s through its iron truss design, visible to anyone traveling across it by rail. The structure reflects how engineers of that era solved the challenge of spanning such a wide river.
Practical
Access to the bridge is limited to train passengers, so visitors can only view it from aboard a train. Walking across on foot is not permitted.
Did you know?
A third rail track was recently added to increase how many trains can cross daily. The installation also included monitoring systems and noise-reduction technology to make operations safer and quieter.
