Munkás Bridge, Budapest

The Munkás Bridge stretches across the Danube River with a concrete structure spanning 55.2 meters to connect the western bank with Óbudai Island.

Originally constructed as a wooden bridge in 1858, the structure underwent transformation to steel in 1884 and received its current reinforced concrete form in 1968.

The bridge connects residents to Óbudai Island, which holds numerous events throughout the year and provides recreational spaces for the local community.

Multiple public transportation options, including buses and trams, provide access points near both ends of the bridge for commuters and visitors.

The 1884 steel version incorporated a lifting mechanism that allowed ships to pass underneath, marking an early example of adaptable bridge engineering in Budapest.
