Szentes–csongrádi vasúti Tisza-híd

The steel truss bridge connects Szentes and Csongrád cities across the Tisza River, featuring a three-span structure with a total length of 500.8 meters.

After German forces destroyed the original 1903 bridge in 1944, a temporary structure served until 1986 when the current bridge was constructed with modern engineering methods.

The bridge maintains essential railway connections between eastern and western Hungary, supporting regional transportation networks and economic development.

The central span measures 120 meters, making it the longest railway bridge span in Hungary, with a steel structure weighing 2,930 tons.

The construction incorporated sliding technology with Teflon-coated steel-rubber plates on supports, introducing innovative building methods to Hungarian bridge engineering.
