Liberty Bridge (Szabadság híd)
Budapest

Built in 1894, the bridge spans the Danube and was opened in 1896 by the Emperor Franz Joseph. When driving on to the bridge two large pillars are seen and on top of each is a mythical Turul bird. These can also be seen on the Hungarian coat of arms.

The bridge is a steel construction and at first site looks like a suspension bridge. However, the construction is a combination of a steel arch (seen under the roadway) with extra strength provided by triangulation.
