Budapest’s metropolitan council has banned the use of the city’s landmark Chain Bridge for state celebrations and fireworks marking the August 20 national holiday, citing corrosion of its iron components.
Also a 30km/h speed limit will apply on the 171-year-old bridge.
A public procurement for revamping the structure will be put out in the next few weeks, a council official said.
