The Northern Railway Bridge ( Hungarian: Északi összekötő vasúti híd ) or Újpest Railway Bridge ( Újpesti vasúti híd ) is one of eleven bridges across the Danube in Budapest today and one of two railway bridges. A previous bridge was built at this point between 1892 and 1896.
After the destruction in the Second World War , a reconstruction was opened to traffic in 1955. This bridge received a continuous truss over seven segments. The tracks are at the lower chord level.
In 2008 the superstructures of the Northern Railway Bridge were completely renewed.
