Description
Construction of the Chain Bridge began in 1839 and it was designed by the English engineer T.W.Clark. The bridge took over ten years to build and it was the first bridge to span the Danube connecting the two halves of the city Buda and Pest. (Hence, the Capital City is called Budapest).
This is an unusual suspension bridge as cables have not been used. A large chain was used to span the river. The chain has links that are very similar to the ones seen on a bicycle chain. The road way is suspended from the chain. The bridge is 380 metres in length.
