Árpád Bridge in Ráckeve

The Árpád Bridge spans 68.20 meters across the Ráckeve-Soroksár Danube, connecting different sections of the town with dual-direction traffic lanes and pedestrian paths.

Built in 1897 to mark the millennium of Hungarian Conquest, the original iron bridge was destroyed in World War II and reconstructed in 1949 using parts from Szolnok bridges.

The bridge represents a central element of Ráckeve's infrastructure, replacing previous wooden structures and ferry services that operated at this crossing point since medieval times.

The bridge provides essential connectivity for vehicles and pedestrians, linking residential areas with commercial districts while offering direct access to both banks of the Danube.

During its reconstruction in 1949, engineers incorporated salvaged materials from other Hungarian bridges, creating a structure that combines elements from multiple historical sources.
