K Bridge, Truss bridge in Budapest District III, Hungary
K Bridge is a steel truss bridge measuring about 98 meters long that connects Óbuda Island with the Buda side of the city. The structure uses exposed metal framework and carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic across the water.
The bridge was built in 1955 to replace earlier railway connections that served the island's shipyards and industrial operations. This change marked a shift from heavy industry toward modern urban infrastructure and residential use.
The bridge serves as a link between neighborhoods and reflects how the island has transformed from an industrial center into a residential area. Its naming acknowledges a historical figure important to local heritage.
The bridge is easily reached from Filatorigát HÉV station and functions as a key crossing for pedestrians and vehicles in this part of the city. The walkway is spacious and the open design provides clear views of the surroundings.
Traces of old railway tracks remain visible on the bridge surface, reminding visitors of when trains directly served the island. These remnants tell a story of the location's industrial past.
