Elizabeth of Hungary Bridge, Road bridge over Little Danube in Esztergom, Hungary
The Elizabeth of Hungary Bridge is a road crossing spanning approximately 50 meters over the Little Danube in Esztergom, linking different parts of the city. The structure carries both vehicular and pedestrian traffic across the river.
The structure experienced significant damage during both World Wars and required multiple reconstructions over time. Its most recent major restoration took place in the early 2000s.
The bridge bears the name of a medieval princess celebrated for her charitable work and care for those in need. This naming reflects values that remain meaningful to the city and its residents.
The bridge is accessible daily and offers a direct crossing between both riverbanks without detours. Keep in mind that traffic can be heavy during peak hours when residents use it for commuting.
The crossing marks a location where the Little Danube significantly narrows, making it a natural crossing point for the city. This geographic feature shaped the placement and importance of the structure over time.
