The Tomori Pál Bridge, designed by the engineers of our bridge department and connecting Kalocsa and Paks across the Danube, has been awarded the Steel Structure of the Year Award by the Hungarian Steel Structure Association (MAGÉSZ).

This year, the jury reached a unanimous decision when selecting the winner.

The Tomori Pál Bridge represents top performance both in terms of structure and execution. A 440-meter river span built with extradosed technology has never before been constructed in Hungary – and even globally, this solution is only beginning to gain ground.

The bridge spans 946 metres, crossing the Danube and reducing travel time between Kalocsa and Paks by 15 minutes. In addition to two traffic lanes, the structure includes two-way cycling paths – offering a modern, comprehensive response to the region’s mobility needs.

The essence of the extradosed technology lies in the continuous cables that run along the entire length of the bridge, both suspending and prestressing the structure. This approach provides several advantages over conventional cable-stayed and girder bridges.

This prestigious recognition was awarded to CÉH Zrt. as designer and to @Duna Aszfalt Zrt. as contractor.

The design was led by Dr. Sándor Kisbán and Pál Pusztai, but the success of the project is the result of years of coordinated effort by more than 20 of our engineers.
