The bridge was built between 1894 and 1896 to the plans of János Feketeházy. Although radically different in structure, the bridge imitates the general outline of a chain-type bridge, this is a Gerber truss structure bridge. The bridge was opened in the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph; the last silver rivet on the Pest abutment was inserted into the iron structure by the Emperor, and the bridge was originally named after him. It is 333.6 m in length and 20.1 m in width the maximum span 170.75 m, number of 'openings' 3, with two lanes and a tram. The top of the four masts are decorated with large bronze statues of the Turul, a falcon-like bird, prominent in ancient Hungarian mythology.
