As a part of an extensive highway development program in Hungary a new Danube bridge was constructed in Dunaújváros, nearly 70 km south of Budapest. The 1676.8 m long bridge consisting of two approach bridges and a main bridge was completed in July of 2007. The main part of the bridge is a basket handle type tied‐arch bridge. The geometrical size, structural solutions and erection method of the bridge required preliminary research and advanced design methodology. The cover picture shows the floating operation of the new bridge (see p. 150). (Photo: Dr. Sándor Domanovszky)
