Connective Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Budapest, Hungary

The Connective Railway Bridge extends 477 meters across the Danube River, connecting the Ferencváros and Kelenföld stations with three main pillars.

The original structure from 1877 was replaced in 1913 due to material deterioration, then rebuilt in 1953 following destruction during World War II.

The bridge design reflects the engineering methods of the 19th century with its iron truss construction, similar to the architectural style of Budapest's Keleti Station.

The bridge accommodates up to 250 trains daily, operating at speeds of 80 kilometers per hour while serving both passenger and freight transportation.

Recent expansion added a third track to increase capacity, incorporating an online monitoring system and noise-reduction technology through composite deck slabs.
