Rákóczi Bridge (Hungarian: Rákóczi híd, formerly known as Lágymányosi híd / Lágymányosi Bridge[1]) is a bridge in Budapest, Hungary, connecting the settlements of Buda and Pest across the Danube. The construction of the steel girder bridge was started in 1992 to the plans of Tibor Sigrai.
It is named after the Rákóczi family. This bridge is the southernmost and the second newest public bridge in the capital; it was inaugurated in 1995.
