Railway bridge over the Tisza in Tiszaug

Railway bridge over the Tisza in Tiszaug, Railway bridge over the Tisza between Tiszaug and Lakitelek, Hungary

The railway bridge over the Tisza at Tiszaug is a four-span steel structure with spans of 52.66 m, 103.19 m, 103.19 m and 52.66 m. The 1,514-tonne steel structure was made by the Hungarian Royal State Iron, Steel and Machine Factory from Diósgyőr and Ózd steel. It carries the Kunszentmárton–Lakitelek railway line between Tiszaug and Lakitelek.

Construction of the bridge began on 7 October 1927, after earthworks had started in October 1925, and it opened on 17 October 1929. Retreating German troops blew it up in 1944; one of the two destroyed main spans could be repaired and the other had to be remade. Rebuilding took place in 1946–1947, and rail traffic began in 1952.

The crossing here long predates the bridge: the Tiszaug ferry carried the road to Kecskemét over the Tisza, and in 1896 a local railway from Kecskemét reached the ferry, its loading siding ending at the riverbank. The bridge was inaugurated on 17 October 1929, when a 25-wagon train brought guests from Kecskemét and Governor Miklós Horthy cut the national-coloured ribbon.

The bridge is part of an active railway line and can best be viewed from nearby train stations or from the river area below. When visiting, keep a safe distance from train operations and stay alert to the regular passage of trains across the span.

The 1,514-tonne steel structure was made by the Hungarian Royal State Iron, Steel and Machine Factory from steel produced in Diósgyőr and Ózd. Its four spans measure 52.66 m, 103.19 m, 103.19 m and 52.66 m. The bridge was test-loaded on 20 July 1929 and handed over on 17 October 1929, when a 25-wagon train brought guests from Kecskemét and Governor Miklós Horthy cut the ribbon.
