Margaret Bridge, Road-rail bridge in Budapest, Hungary
Margaret Bridge spans 607 meters across the Danube River with three sections, connecting Buda, Pest, and Margaret Island through distinctive angular geometry.
French engineer Ernest Goüin designed and constructed the bridge between 1872 and 1876, making it the second permanent crossing over the Danube in Budapest.
The bridge structure incorporates decorative elements from the 1930s, reflecting the architectural preferences of the period with its ornate lampposts and balustrades.
The bridge accommodates vehicles on four lanes, includes dedicated tramways, features bicycle paths on the northern side, and provides access to Margaret Island.
During the 2011 renovation, workers discovered historical artifacts and human remains in the riverbed, leading to new understanding of World War II events.
