Manci híd, Pontoon bridge in Budapest, Hungary
The Manci Bridge spans across the Danube River, connecting District II and District XIII of Budapest through a floating structure system.
Built in 1946 as part of Budapest's post-World War II reconstruction, the bridge served as a temporary crossing until permanent bridges were repaired.
The bridge represented the determination of Budapest residents to restore connectivity between Buda and Pest after the war's destruction.
Located near the current Margit Bridge, it connected Radnóti Miklós Street on the eastern bank to Szent Lukács Baths on the western side.
Engineer Endre Mistéth designed this floating bridge to adapt to the Danube's changing water levels through an innovative pontoon system.
