Bertalan Bridge

Bertalan Bridge is a road bridge crossing the Tisza River in Szeged and links Újszeged with other districts. The structure has four traffic lanes and pedestrian walkways, making it a major crossing point for vehicles and people.

Construction of the bridge began in 1977 by the Ganz-MÁVAG company and was completed in 1979. It was built in response to growing traffic demands across the Tisza River in Szeged.

The bridge took its current name in 2001 to honor engineer Lajos Bertalan, though many locals still use its previous name in everyday conversation. This naming reflects the local connection to engineering achievement.

The bridge handles both vehicle and pedestrian traffic between Újszeged and other parts of the city. Plan your crossing considering the busy periods during rush hours, as traffic flow changes significantly throughout the day.

The bridge's construction required removing an existing tram line from the area. This led to the launch of a new bus system that replaced the tram service and reshaped local transportation patterns.
