VIDEO: New Danube Bridge reached highest point
The new Danube bridge connecting Tolna and Bács-Kiskun Counties reached its topping-out point.
According to Magyar Építők, the new Danube bridge stretching 40 metres over the River Danube reached its highest point. The overpass will connect Kalocsa and Paks and is being built by Duna Aszfalt Zrt.
The steel and concrete bridge will be 1,133 meters long and attached to motorway M6. The 2×1 road on it would allow a 90 km/h traffic between the two Hungarian towns. Furthermore, the region will get a 25-km-long brand-new road system with new junctions, renovated junctions, allowing drivers to get from one point to the other faster. Moreover, the project involves the renovation of a 5-km-long road system. In 2020, we wrote that the building would last 26 months, so it should have been finished by now, so it seems they are behind schedule.
In THIS article, you may check out a visual how the new overpass will look after its completion. Here is a video about the project’s current state:

At 38sec in the video, the camera pans the above the top of the central stays that still have scaffolding, and one can see a tree in the pylon. Am I mistaken? And if not, then there are so many more questions:
– Is that normal?
– Is it decorative, or does it serve a purpose?
– If it was a weed, did nobody notice during the construction?, Does weeding lay outside the contractor’s job spec and therefore doesn’t remove such?
– When editing the video, did the producers not notice and think showing such might erode the confidence that such a video is meant to instill?
