Monostor Bridge, Road and bicycle bridge between Komárom and Komárno, Hungary and Slovakia
Monostor Bridge is a 600-metre steel cable-stayed bridge over the Danube, linking Komárom in Hungary with Komárno in Slovakia. Its deck carries two road lanes, a footpath and a cycle path, and rests on six supports. A single pylon rises 118.288 metres above the foundation slab, with cables fanning down to the deck.
Construction began in 2017 after Hungary and Slovakia signed an agreement in 2012 to create a new border crossing. The project was part of a broader initiative to improve transportation connections in the region.
The bridge serves as a daily connection for people crossing between the two neighboring countries, making the partnership between Hungary and Slovakia visible in everyday travel. It has transformed how locals and visitors move across the border.
The bridge carries two road lanes plus a footpath and a cycle path, linking Slovak road I/63 with Hungarian main road 1. The nearest rail bridge stands 170 m downstream and the older Alžbetin/Erzsébet bridge 2.8 km away. Traffic heading north to Slovak road I/64 still passes through Komárno's centre until the planned bypass is built.
The bridge was financed with European funding designed to strengthen cross-border transportation networks across the continent. This made it a symbol of European cooperation in infrastructure development.
