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:
