RECONSTRUCTION OF THE TÜRR ISTVÁN BRIDGE

The Türr István Bridge at Baja was originally built as a dual purpose road – railway bridge. Due to the increased traffic, cantilevers were built on both sides of the bridge in 1989.

During the next reconstruction in 1998-99 the road and railway traffic was fully separated. The cantilevers were strengthened to be able to carry heavy loads by adding prestressed suspensions and stringers. Finally, the railway deck was rebuilt as well.
