Margaret Bridge

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:16:25

Margaret Bridge (Margit híd), which has finally emerged from a massive three-year reconstruction, introduces the Big Ring Rd to Buda. It's unique in that it doglegs in order to stand at right angles to the Danube where it converges at the southern tip of Margaret Island. The bridge was originally built by French engineer Ernest Gouin in 1876; the branch leading to the island was added in 1901.
