  1. The Northern Danube Bridge on the M0 motorway

  2. The brief story of the bridge • In 2005, the construction of the M0 motorway reached the bank of our main river, the Danube • Then it was time to build a bridge… • Otherwise, the cars would possibly fall into the water • Many specialists put their shoulders to the wheel, to come up with a great idea: now, one of the companies has done this.

  3. About the bridge itself • According to the plans, this bridge’s going to be more than 1862 metres long, and also be the longest river bridge in Hungary. • Cable-bridge. • It’s going to be white… • Or black… • Or it’s going to be transparent. • And it costs more than 60 billion Hungarian Forints, without any EU supports.

  4. About the bridge itself • By the end of the construction of the Northern Danube Bridge, our capital city’s (Budapest’s) traffic will be more adequate and smoother. • We could hopefully get to the country more easily, and it would also serve the simplification of the heavy traffic.

  5. Interesting Facts • Once our Ministry of Transport called out a vote on their website for a new official name of the bridge. • …and there were several ideas the visitors came up with, like: • Hofi (22%) – he was one of our most famous actors • József Attila (2%) – a poet we’re proud of …and of course… • Chuck Norris… (5%) • Therefore our bridge was finally given the name: Megyeri Bridge

  6. Visiting the construction • About a month ago, we visited the construction itself with the whole class. • An architect gave us a presentation on the different technologies being used during the construction with one of them that was developed by the Hungarian company. • Later that day we got on a boat that cruised around the pillars. • It was a little bit boring, but we didn’t mind it. • We got those cool yellow stuffs called safety caps

  7. THE END
