Szent László bridge, Road and girder bridge near Szekszárd, Hungary
The Szent László Bridge is a road and girder bridge that crosses the Danube River, connecting several communities in the region. Its structure consists of three main spans using box girder engineering to maintain stability across the water.
The bridge was completed in 2003 as an important step in regional transportation development. It was built as part of the M9 motorway expansion project in Hungary.
The bridge is named after King Saint Ladislaus, the patron saint of Szekszárd, the town it serves just to the south. Its opening on 4 July 2003 ended the Fadd–Dombori and Fajsz ferry service that had previously carried traffic across the Danube here.
The bridge carries the M9 motorway on one lane in each direction, linking the M6 motorway and main road 6 with main road 51. It stands at river kilometre 1498.79, with a navigable opening 100 metres wide and 9.5 metres high above the water.
The bridge crosses the Danube with three main spans of 120 meters each, allowing the weight to be distributed evenly across the river. This design approach helps the structure handle the wide waterway effectively.
