More info
The bridge was designed by the British engineer U. Clark in 1839 on the initiative of Count Sechenja. Construction was led by Scottish Adam Clark. The bridge was a much larger version of the Marlo Bridge over the Thames in Marlo, Buckinghamshire, UK, previously built by U. Clark. In 1849, during the Hungarian struggle for independence, Austrian soldiers tried to blow up the bridge, but Clark rescued it by flooding the cells of the chains. The bridge was opened in 1849 and became the first bridge in the Hungarian capital. At that time it was one of the largest bridges in the world (the length of the central part - 202 meters). The lions of the work of sculptor J. Marshalka appeared on the side pedestals of each entrance in 1852. The current name of the bridge dates back to 1899. The steel structure of the bridge was completely reconstructed and reinforced in 1914. During the Budapest storm, the bridge was blown up by retreating Germans and had to be rebuilt. Restoration work was completed in 1949. Movement on the bridge resumed on November 20, 1949, exactly 100 years after its first opening. The bridge decorations are cast in cast iron. In 2001, Hungarian pilot Peter Beseney flew a plane under the bridge and the trick became standard in the Red Bull aviation competition. The medium-complexity and medium-detail model for mid-experience modelers, but this model, under the supervision of a more experienced colleague, is best to assemble for low-experience modelers. And for the experienced, having two magazines, can make it just a masterpiece of architecture.
