Change language:
The new decorative lighting system of Budapest’s illustrious Chain Bridge was tested this Thursday successfully. Mayor Gergely Karácsony and Budapest’s transport company, BKK, shared videos about Hungary’s oldest stone overpass’ beauties.
The official testing of the decorative lighting of Budapest’s symbolic Chain Bridge took place on 15 June. Furthermore, 1.5 months before the deadline, experts started the technical handover of the Chain Bridge, iho.hu wrote. As a result, from August, pedestrians will be able to cross the bridge on the sidewalks.
During the Chain Bridge revamp project, not only the street lighting system of the overpass was renewed and modernised but also the decorative lighting. Thanks to that, both systems became energy efficient. For example, the 1,180 old luminaires were replaced with modern LED lights. Furthermore, the colour of the decorative lighting can be changed. For example, during the national holidays, it will shine in red-white-green.
