The Pentele Bridge got her name after the village Dunapentele (now part of Dunaújváros).

The deck is 40.94 m (134.3 ft) wide and carries 2×2 road lanes (3.75 m), 2×1 stopping lanes (3.5 m) a 3.6 m-wide separating line, and on both sides, a 2.4 m-wide pedestrian and bike path.

The river bridge is 50 m (160 ft) high, and weighs about 8600 tonnes with all the structures excluding pavement.

The arches rise 47.6 meters above the carriageway and are tilted inwards at an angle of 16.5° from vertical resembling a basket handle.

The main section of the bridge was assembled on the shore and floated in place using 8 barges of 1600 ton capacity each.
