Why the name Zemplén 723?

A world record bridge calls for a unique double naming method. Zemplén 723 is an easily understandable phrase for local and international visitors as well. The naming solution was similar in case of many other world-famous suspension bridges, as it specifies the location and the exact length of the bridge.

Unique width

The walkway of the bridge planned for the Zemplén Adventure Park is 1.2 metres wide. This width, bigger than the average, makes the bridge accessible from both directions: from the Szár-hill and the Castle Hill as well. This is a huge achievement, as most suspension bridges can only be accessed from one single direction.

Zemplén 723 in numbers:

  • Wingspan of the suspension bridge: 723 metres.
  • Total weight of the steel structure: 496.55 tons.
  • Number of used bolts: 12000 pieces.
  • Total length of cables: 24162.4 metres.
  • Cable sag: 27 metres.
  • Elevation of the steepest bridge section: 15%.

The bridge is made of modern, durable materials, but its design recalls traditional rope bridges, like the rope bridges of the Inca.

The walkway is aligned with the cables, avoiding the installation of overhanging tall structures which are foreign to the landscape, such as pylons. Cable arches were arranged to fit into the landscape and to ensure an easy walking experience. During the design phase, the decision was to choose structural solutions which do not disturb the view.

The bridge is extremely sensitive to movement and vibration, so safe use can only be guaranteed with the planned securing wind cable system.
