In 1894, a road bridge was built on the Maros, connecting the Banat-Torontal areas with the Great Hungarian Plain. It was the first reinforced concrete road bridge in Csanád County, designed by Szilád Zelinski, and its pillars are still visible in the river. The superstructure was destroyed during World War II: it had been mined, but accidentally exploded due to a lightning strike in 1940. Since one side belonged to Hungary and the other to Romania, it was never rebuilt. (Not far from the bridge, just below Magyarcsanád, the pillars of the 1903 railway bridge designed by János Kossalka are visible. Its last element was removed in 1956.) On the Hungarian side of the former road bridge, sand extraction takes place, where high-quality construction sand is pumped from the riverbed.
