Its two ends are:
- Boráros tér (southern end of HÉV)
- Goldmann György tér (next to the campuses of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics)
Budapest already made a proposal in the early 1900s to build the bridge, but the competent state bodies believed that a bridge in Óbuda was much more important. After the start of World War I., the idea was postponed, however, the bridge was still important for the townspeople.[1]
The bridge was built between 1933 and 1937,Second World War. Its rebuilt version was inaugurated in November 1952, when it also took on its new name, Petőfi Bridge.[3]
