The construction of the unique, new Tisza Bridge on a spectacular video

The construction works of the Tisza Bridge of the M44 motorway are progressing well. Duna Aszfalt, the company carrying out the construction, shared a spectacular video about the progress of the bridge, the structure of which is unique in Europe.

According to Origo, last November marked a milestone in the construction of the bridge because the two parts of the bridge finally met in the centre. The construction project is related to the construction of the 10-kilometre section of the M44 road between Lakitelek and Tiszakürt, which will be implemented with the investment of Nemzeti Infrastruktúra Fejlesztő Zrt. (National Infrastructure Development Inc.).

What makes the bridge in Tiszaug special is its unique structure, of which no other has been built in Europe so far, and only a few similar ones exist in the world. 

The total length of the bridge is 556 metres, of which a 307-metre-long section provides traffic over the river.

The contractor published a video about the works of the specially designed bridge:

The pylons have a deformed elliptical shape, which makes the appearance of the bridge very unique. The structure is reminiscent of a covered wagon. The bridge deck will be attached to the pylons with a fan-shaped free cable arrangement. The final height of the bridge pylons will be 41.6 meters.
