History

The new bed of the Béga was constructed between 1906 and 1909, and a series of new bridges were built over the canal. The bridge over the Bega Canal was commissioned in 1907. It was designed by Mihailich Győző, a leading figure in Hungarian reinforced concrete bridge architecture. It was the largest reinforced concrete girder bridge of its time, and was awarded a certificate of merit at the 1910 Paris World Exhibition for its technical feat. Its Art Nouveau exterior was designed by architect Körössy Albert. It is 195 metres long and 9 metres wide. It connects the Factory Town with the Castle District. Today it bears the name of Decebal.
