Pentele Bridge
Project description
The Pentele Bridge is a highway bridge spanning over the river Danube between Dunavecse and Dunaújváros in Hungary. The bridge was opened to traffic in 2007.
The structure is part of the accomplished M8 motorway. The bridge‘s full length is 1,682 m. It is aimed to connect the western part of the country, near the Austrian border, to Szolnok in the center of the country. The deck is 41 m wide and carries 2 × 2 road lanes, 2 × 1 stopping lanes, a separating line, a path for pedestrians and a bicycle lane.
The river bridge features a height of 50 m, and weighs about 8,600 tonnes with all the structures excluding pavement. The arches rise 47.6 m above the carriageway and are tilted inwards at an angle of 16.5 degrees from vertical resembling a basket handle.
mageba scope
mageba delivered TENSA-FINGER RSFD cantilever finger joint of types F180, F550 and F620 for the bridge in 2007.
The total length of the supplied expansion joints was more than 140 m, and they were installed under the supervision of mageba‘s local team of experts.
In 2024, due to the poor condition, the original bearings had to be replaced in the floodplain section of the structure in 20 locations with RESTON-SPHERICAL bearings, which were all produced locally at mageba’s Nyírtelek production facility in Hungary.
