Railway bridge over the Tisza in Tiszaug

The railway bridge over the Tisza at Tiszaug is a steel truss structure spanning 311 meters across the river to connect both banks. The design features an interconnected triangle network that provides strength while using materials efficiently for the long river crossing.

The original bridge was built in 1929 and became an important transportation link across the region. During World War II, it was destroyed in 1944 but was then completely rebuilt by 1947 and has served the railway ever since.

The bridge connects communities on both banks of the Tisza, serving as a vital link that brought people together and shaped settlement patterns on either side. Walking near it today, you can see how the structure anchors the local landscape and daily movement of the region.

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 triangular truss network design was a practical solution for spanning long distances, as this geometry achieves maximum stability with minimal weight. This construction method was standard practice in the early 1900s for major bridges crossing wide rivers like the Tisza.
