The city’s road manager, Budapest Közút, has already launched a public procurement procedure to select a contractor for the project.

Originally opened in 1957 as a temporary structure, the bridge has since deteriorated significantly and now requires comprehensive renewal.

The project will preserve the K-shaped metal structures that give the bridge its name and distinctive appearance while upgrading it to modern engineering standards.

The roadway will be widened from 2.8m to 3.5m, and the structure will be reinforced to comply with current load-bearing requirements.

Construction work will be suspended during major summer events held on the island in order to minimise disruption.
