M44 motorway bridge over the river Tisza, Cable-stayed motorway bridge in Lakitelek and Tiszaug, Hungary.

The M44 bridge is a cable-stayed structure crossing the Tisza River as part of the motorway network. It stretches about 556 meters with a main span of roughly 152 meters, supported by twin towers and a fan arrangement of cables anchored to the deck.

In 2015 UVATERV sketched several bridge variants for the M44 crossing of the Tisza, among them a cable-stayed design with a half-ellipse pylon. Approval plans were drawn up in 2015-2017 on that basis, construction ran from 2018 to 2021, the deck closed over the river in November 2020, a load test followed on 27 September 2021, and the bridge was inaugurated on 12 November 2021.

In 2022 the bridge received the Hungarian construction industry's nívódíj award in the transport facility category, shared with the Kaposvár intermodal transport centre. The prize has been awarded annually since 1997 on the recommendation of the board of the Építőipari Mesterdíj Alapítvány. The bridge was inaugurated on 12 November 2021 with the traditional barrel roll.

The bridge carries motorway traffic on the M44 connecting regional routes and allows vehicles to cross the Tisza without delay. Drivers can pass over it as a normal part of their journey without special considerations.

The deck's steel box girders were launched incrementally from both banks on temporary supports and joined over the river at final level in November 2020. The 2,573-tonne steel structure of the river span was assembled from elements lifted by a 100-tonne truck crane. In 2022 the bridge received a construction industry award in the transport category, shared with the Kaposvár intermodal transport centre.
