The City of Esztergom and the Hungarian Road Administration launched a design competition for the new Danube bridge at Esztergom, which could be the part of the north-south international transit corridor as well. Beyond the feasibility study the visualization was also required. The first prize was given to the 3 span arch bridge variant of Pont-Terv Ltd. The main arches connect the sidal transverse points of the supports diagonally, and consist of three steel tubes forming a triangle. The deck girder is a four-cell steel box girder with an orthotropic deck suspended by cables onto the main arch.
